A Correct answer
Explanation

Starting from the origin, track each movement: North 20 km to position (0, 20), then West 40 km to (-40, 20), then South 20 km to (-40, 0), then East 20 km to (-20, 0). The final position is 20 km directly West of the starting point. Notice that the North and South movements cancel each other out (both 20 km), leaving only the net East-West displacement.
