  1. 5 Km North
  2. 5 Km South
  3. 5 Km East

  Answer :

  Option D

  

  Explanation:

  Clearly, Kunal moves from A 10 Km northwards upto B, then moves 6 Km southwards upto C, turns towards east and moves 3 km upto D.
  Then AC = (AB-BC) = 4 Km
  
  So Kunal distance from starting point A
  \begin{aligned}
  AD = \sqrt{AC^2 + CD^2} \\
  = \sqrt{4^2+3^2} \\
  = \sqrt{25} = 5
  \end{aligned}
  
  So AD is 5 Km also with reference to starting point Kunal's direction is North-East.
