You take a bearing of 142° and 259° of two objects. What bearing of a third object will give the best fix?

Correct Answer: Option C — 019°

Per Bowditch standards, optimal multi-object fixes require evenly distributed intersecting azimuths. Given existing bearings of 142° and 259°, a third bearing of 019° establishes balanced angular separation, creating a robust geometric intersection that reduces potential plotting errors.
