70% to passWhat is the relative bearing of an object broad on the port quarter?
A
195°
B
225°
C
240°
D
265°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 225°. The relative bearing of an object broad on the port quarter is 225°. This is because the port quarter refers to the left side of the vessel, which is 90° to the left of the vessel's centerline. Adding 135° to this 90° bearing gives us the relative bearing of 225°. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 195° is too far forward, C) 240° is too far aft, and D) 265° is too far aft and to the right of the vessel.
