Question 1358Navigation General

The correct answer is A) Known compass error. The term "current" when used in relation to a fix refers to the errors caused by ocean currents, wind, and poor steering. It does not include known compass errors, which are considered a separate source of error. The other options are incorrect because they are all factors that can contribute to the "current" when determining a fix. Ocean currents, leeway (the sideways drift of a vessel due to wind), and poor steering are all considered "current" errors, but a known compass error is not.
