D, By using the tip to tail method we can find the resultant vector (displacement). it has to be greater than 45 since NE is a straight 45 degrees but then we head up north another 18 miles, making it C or D. From there we know that the hypotenuse (resultant vector) will be longer than either side of the triangle making the final answer D.
