Complete answer:
Fiji islands is a country and archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean mainly. It is surrounded by the Koro Sea about 1300 miles north of Auckland in New Zealand. The capital of the islands is Suva, which is on the southern coast of the largest island ,Viti Levu.This relatively small country has a very complex geologic composition. There are mountains ,rivers, beaches,as well as agricultural lands. Now let's see the options:-
NorthWest side:- Towards the North West side of Australia, there lies Indonesia, Borneo Island thus this option isn’t correct.
North East side:- Towards the North East side of Australia there are a lot of islands including the Solomon Islands,Tahiti ,Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands and Fiji islands hence this is the correct.
In the south:- towards the south of the Australian continent there are mainly three Islands ,Kangaroo Island, Tasmania and New Zealand. So this option isn't correct.
In West:- Towards the West of Australia there lies the mighty Indian Ocean hence this is incorrect.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
