Answer:

correct option is due west

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the Sun rise in the east and set in the west

but most people don not realize that is generalization

but Sun only rises due east and sets due west

and on 2 day of the years spring & fall equinoxes

other day Sun rise either north or south i.e of due east

and set north or the south i.e of due west

as

every day rising and setting point changing slightly

and in summer solstice Sun rise as far to the north east it ever does

and sets as far to the north west

Every day after that Sun rise tiny bit further south
