True Bearing is defined as which of the following?

• A. Never changes, always will be true north
• B. Changes depending which way you're facing
• C. Relative Bearing
• D. Azimuth

Answer: (A)

True bearing is the azimuth—the angle measured clockwise from true north to the line connecting you to the target. Because the reference is true north, this bearing is defined independently of your current heading; it describes where the object is relative to geographic north, not where you are facing. Saying it never changes and is always true north mixes up the reference with the direction to the target. The term that matches this concept is azimuth, while relative bearing would depend on your own orientation.
