Visualize the positions on a standard 8-point compass. Since B is North-West of Q and Q is South-East of B, just map the relative movements step-by-step.

Mapping the Town Positions
Town L is south of B. Town Q is south-east of B. Town N is north of Q. Town M is west of B. Town N is east of M.
Determining B relative to N
Since M is west of B and N is east of M, N and B are on the same latitude (horizontal line). Because M is west of B, and N is east of M, if N is north of Q and Q is south-east of B, then B must be to the North-West of N.
A: Incorrect, North-East would place B to the right of N. B: Incorrect, South-West is the direction of N relative to B. D: Incorrect, South-East is the direction of B from M/N combined context.
C is correct because by plotting the relative positions, Town B is situated to the North-West of Town N.
In direction puzzles, always fix a reference point (e.g., Town B) and plot others relative to it to avoid confusion between 'relative to' directions.
