What is the relative bearing of an object broad on the starboard quarter?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 135°.
The relative bearing of an object broad on the starboard quarter is 135°. This means the object is located 45° abaft (behind) the starboard beam, or 135° relative to the ship's heading.
The other options are incorrect because: A) 045° would be forward of the starboard beam, B) 090° would be directly off the starboard beam, and D) 225° would be on the port quarter, not the starboard quarter.
