Question 108Navigation Problems

The correct answer is A) Spica, Altair, Acrux. This is the correct answer because these three stars are well-suited for observation at the given location and time. Spica and Altair are bright, first-magnitude stars that are easily identifiable in the night sky. Acrux is a prominent star in the Southern Cross constellation, which will be visible from the vessel's position near the south celestial pole. The other answer choices are incorrect because the stars they mention are not as well-positioned for observation at the given latitude and longitude. For example, Arcturus, Antares, and Atria are more suitable for observations at different latitudes, while Pollux, Canopus, and Hamal are not as prominent or well-suited for the specific location and time.
