Correct Answer: 10 km

Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –

Now, we have to find the distance between the starting point and the endpoint.

In the figure, A is the starting point and E is the endpoint. So, AE is the distance between the starting point and the endpoint.
AE = AB + BE
Here, AB = 5 km and BE = CD = 5 km
Therefore, AE = 5 + 5 = 10 km

So, the distance between the starting point and the endpoint is 10 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
