What is the relative bearing of an object broad on the port bow?

A 315°
B 330°
C 345°
D 360°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 315°. The relative bearing of an object that is broad on the port bow is 315°. This is because the port bow is the left side of the ship, and "broad on the bow" means the object is at a bearing of 90° off the ship's heading. Therefore, the relative bearing would be 90° to the left of the ship's heading, which is 315°. The other options are incorrect because 330°, 345°, and 360° do not represent the relative bearing of an object that is broad on the port bow.
