Yes, the correct answer is B, because the instrument which we have to measure the bearings are magnetic/prismatic compass nt true meridian or something else.
Anil said:   8 years ago
Yes, the correct answer is magnetic bearing because of the true bearing is always represented by the true meridian or "Azimuth".
Pradip said:   8 years ago
Magnetic bearing is also called "bearing" & true bearing is also known as "azimuth".

Magnatic bearing is the right answer.

Azimuth is the smaller angle and bearing is bigger angle hence azimuth can't be the answer.
