Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The bearing of the hunter from the bird would be the opposite of the bird's bearing from the hunter. The bird's bearing from the hunter is N72°E. To find the opposite bearing, we subtract 180° from the given bearing:
N72°E → S72°W.
So, the correct answer is:
**B. S72°W**.
