To solve this problem, we need to track Aman's movements step-by-step from his initial position. Let’s break it down:

1. Initial Position:
Aman's initial coordinates are (0, 0).

2. First Movement:
- Aman runs towards the North for 10 meters.
- New coordinates: (0, 10)

3. Second Movement:
- Aman turns left. If he's facing North, turning left will point him West.
- He runs 20 meters to the West.
- New coordinates: (-20, 10)

4. Third Movement:
- Aman turns right. From facing West, turning right will point him North.
- He walks 10 meters to the North.
- New coordinates: (-20, 20)

5. Fourth Movement:
- Aman turns right again. From facing North, turning right will point him East.
- He walks 50 meters to the East.
- New coordinates: (30, 20)

Now, we compare Aman's final position (30, 20) relative to his starting position (0, 0).

- He is 30 meters to the East and
- 20 meters to the North

Therefore, the direction he is facing with respect to his initial position is South-East.

So, the correct alternative is:
South-East
