A vessel heading SSW is on a course of _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 202.5°.

The other options are incorrect because:
B) 225.0° is the heading for Southwest, not South-Southwest.
C) 247.5° is the heading for West-Southwest, not South-Southwest.
D) 270.0° is the heading for West, not South-Southwest.
