From the information in the picture, it's not possible to select any of the choices on the list.

-- Knowing the horizontal and vertical forces on the plane, we can't tell what direction it will move. We can only tell what direction it will accelerate.

The net horizontal force is (200N right) - (50N left).

. . . That's 150N to the right, so the plane accelerates to the right.

The net vertical force is (175N up) - (75N down).

. . . That's 100N upward, so the plane accelerates upward.

-- We can't tell the compass direction of the net force, because the picture doesn't tell us the compass direction of the horizontal forces.
