Solution

The correct option is A North
We can walk because of friction. If we are walking towards the North, then we apply a horizontal force away from our direction of walking, i.e. towards the South direction on the ground. As a reaction, the ground applies the frictional force on our feet in the opposite direction, i.e towards the North.
