1. Determine the standard compass directions based on the given North indicator.

The compass indicator shows North (N) pointing towards the top-right (approximately 45∘45^\circ clockwise from vertical up).
Therefore:

  • South (S) is opposite to North, pointing towards the bottom-left.
  • East (E) is 90∘90^\circ clockwise from North, pointing towards the bottom-right.
  • West (W) is opposite to East, pointing towards the top-left.

2. Evaluate each option against the established directions.

  • Option 1: City A to City B is horizontal right. This is exactly between North (top-right) and East (bottom-right), so it is North-East, not due East.
  • Option 2: City B to City C goes down and left (bottom-left). This matches the direction of South. This statement is correct.
  • Option 3: City C to City D is horizontal left. This is exactly between South (bottom-left) and West (top-left), so it is South-West, not North-East.
  • Option 4: City D to City A goes up and left (top-left). This matches the direction of West, not North-West.
Answer

From City B to City C, the train has to travel due south. (Option 2)
