Answer:

  (b)  Hiking 10 feet due north, then hiking 10 feet due south

Step-by-step explanation:

Any pair of numbers that totals zero will be a pair of opposites. The offered choices are ...

  +6 -4 = 2 . . . not zero

  +10 -10 = 0

  +2 -3 = -1 . . . not zero

  +5 -3 = 2 . . . not zero

Hiking 10 feet due north, then hiking 10 feet due south is a situation involving opposite numbers adding up to zero.
