Correct Answer: 88 m


Solution : Firstly, draw the diagram according to the given instructions:

Now, calculate the distance between the starting position and the end position.

Here, A is the starting point and F is the end point.
AB = 45 m; BC = ED = 35 m
CD = BE = 26 m; EF = 17 m
Total distance covered between A and F = AB + BE + EF; 45 m + 26 m + 17 m = 88 m

So, she is 88 m far from the starting point. Hence, the third option is correct.
