You take a bearing of 043° and 169° of two objects. What bearing of a third object will give the best fix?

Correct Answer: Option B — 102°

Navigational accuracy for a three-bearing fix relies on an optimal distribution of intersecting lines. A bearing of 102 degrees provides the best geometric separation and angle of cut when combined with initial bearings of 043 and 169 degrees, adhering to Bowditch standards.
