Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- M % N: N is 5 m north of M.

- N @ O: O is 5 m to the left of N. Since M is facing north, left means west. So O is 5 m west of N.

- O $ P: P is 5 m south of O.

Here’s how it works visually:

Start at M. Go 5 m north to N.

From N, go 5 m west to O.

From O, go 5 m south to P.

So where is P with respect to M?

- Vertically: M?N (5m up), O?P (5m down), so back to the same level as M.

- Horizontally: N?O (5m left), so P is 5 m west of M.

The correct answer is:

Option 1: West

Let’s keep it simple:

- P ends up straight west of M. No zigzags, no diagonals, just west.

- Options like south-west or east don’t fit, because only one simple shift was made horizontally.
