4. Evaluate Statement (c): Look at the positions relative to each other:
• The physics lab is in the northwest quadrant (top-left).
• The chemistry lab is in the southeast quadrant (bottom-right).
• Moving from the physics lab to the chemistry lab requires moving Down (South) and Right (East). Therefore, the chemistry lab is indeed to the southeast of the physics lab. (Correct)
