Question 1437Navigation General

The correct answer is D) 201°. The reason for this is that the best fix is obtained when the bearing lines intersect at approximately 90 degrees. The bearings provided, 142° and 259°, intersect at an angle of approximately 117 degrees. A bearing of 201° would intersect the other two bearings at approximately 90 degrees, providing the best fix. The other options are incorrect because they do not intersect the previous two bearings at approximately 90 degrees, which is the optimal angle for obtaining the best fix.
