AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 075°. The true bearing of the lighthouse can be calculated by adding the course (030°T) and the relative bearing (45°). This gives us a true bearing of 075°. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 255° is 180° off from the correct answer. B) 015° is the reciprocal of the course, not the true bearing. C) 345° is the complement of the relative bearing, not the true bearing.
