If the magnetic heading is greater than the compass heading, the deviation is __________.

Correct Answer: Option D — east

Applying the mnemonic 'Can Dead Men Vote Twice' (Compass, Deviation, Magnetic, Variation, True), if the Magnetic heading is greater than the Compass heading, the deviation must be East. East deviation is additive when converting from compass to magnetic, meaning the compass reading is lower than the magnetic value.
