Answer: The distance and the direction to the water fountain are needed to describe the position of a water fountain relative to where the person is standing.

Explanation: The relative position refers to the distance from the reference point that is fixed or moving.

To find the relative position of the fixed or moving object from the observer, the distance and the direction from the object are needed.

Therefore, the second statement given in the problem is correct.
