AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 177°. To determine the true bearing to the lighthouse, you need to add the course and the relative bearing. The course is 357°T, and the relative bearing to the lighthouse is 180°. Adding these two values gives you the true bearing of 177°. The other options are incorrect because: B) 227° is the sum of the course and the relative bearing, but it is not the true bearing. C) 363° is the sum of the course and the relative bearing, but it is not the true bearing. D) 003° is the sum of the course and the relative bearing, but it is not the true bearing.
