C is to the East of B, which is to the North of D. If A is to the South of D, then in which general direction of C is A?

Let me set up a coordinate system to visualize the positions of all points.

Let D be at the origin for reference.

Since B is to the North of D, B is directly above D.

Since A is to the South of D, A is directly below D.

Since C is to the East of B, C is to the right of B.

This gives us the relative positions:

• D at position (0, 0)
• B at position (0, h) where h > 0
• A at position (0, -k) where k > 0
• C at position (m, h) where m > 0

---

To find the direction of A from C, we need to determine how to get from C to A.

From C at (m, h) to A at (0, -k):

• Horizontal displacement: from m to 0 (move West)
• Vertical displacement: from h to -k (move South)

---

Since we need to move both West and South to go from C to A, the direction is South-West.

Therefore, A is to the South-West of C.

The answer is Option 2: South-West.
