The correct answer is:
\(1200 \mathrm{~m}\)
The various displacements of airplane is shown below

Net displacement travelled by airplane,
\(\begin{aligned}
d & =\sqrt{100^2+1200^2}=\sqrt{1450000} \\
& =1204.16 \mathrm{~m} \simeq 1200 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}\)

Net displacement travelled by airplane,
\(\begin{aligned}
d & =\sqrt{100^2+1200^2}=\sqrt{1450000} \\
& =1204.16 \mathrm{~m} \simeq 1200 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}\)
