What is the relative bearing of an object broad on the starboard quarter?

A 090°
B 105°
C 135°
D 150°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 135°. The relative bearing of an object broad on the starboard quarter is 135°. This is because the starboard quarter is the right-hand side of the vessel, between 90° (beam) and 180° (astern) relative to the ship's heading. The relative bearing of 135° places the object directly on this quarter. The other options are incorrect because: A) 090° would be on the beam, B) 105° would be forward of the beam, and D) 150° would be aft of the quarter on the port side.
