You are planning a voyage from Godthab, Greenland, to Cayenne, French Guiana. Using chart WOXZC 5274, determine which statement is TRUE.

Correct Answer: Option C — The rhumb line track approximates a great circle track.

For near-meridional voyages spanning closely aligned longitudes, the rhumb line track closely approximates the great circle track. Bowditch chart principles confirm that minimal longitudinal separation negates any significant distance savings derived from great circle sailing.
