A

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 074°. To determine the true bearing to the lighthouse, we need to add the course (344°T) and the relative bearing (090°) together. The true bearing is the sum of these two values, which equals 074°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 016° is incorrect as it does not account for the relative bearing. C) 254° is incorrect as it is the opposite of the true bearing. D) 270° is incorrect as it does not take the course into account.
