Step-by-step Solution:

Analysis of the Road Systems

The problem describes two independent sets of parallel roads.

• 
  East-West Roads (A, B, C, D, E): The relative positions of A, B, C are fixed with respect to each other, and the relative positions of D, E are fixed. However, there is no information linking these two subgroups, so we cannot know the distance between a road from the first group (e.g., A) and a road from the second (e.g., D).
  


• 
  North-South Roads (F, G, ... M): The relationships between these roads are clearly defined, allowing us to build a definite map of their positions.
  
  
  
  • L is 0.5 km North of G.
  
  
  • K is 0.5 km North of L.
  
  
  • M is 1 km North of K.
  
  
  
  This creates a fixed order from South to North: G → L → K → M.
  

Evaluation of the Options

• 
  A. E and B intersect: False. The roads in the East-West set are all parallel to one another and cannot intersect.
  


• 
  B. D is 2 km West of B: Not necessarily true. As established, we cannot determine the distance between D and B.
  


• 
  C. D is at least 2 km West of A: Not necessarily true. We cannot determine the distance between D and A.
  


• 
  D. M is 1.5 km North of L: True. Based on our map, the distance from L to K is 0.5 km, and the distance from K to M is 1 km. The total distance is 0.5 km + 1 km = 1.5 km.
  

Final Answer: The correct option is D. M is 1.5 km North of L.
