A vessel is heading magnetic north and its magnetic compass indicates a heading of 003°. What action should be taken to remove this error during compass adjustment? （）

A . If the quadrantal spheres are out as far as possible replace them with smaller spheres B . If the quadrantal spheres are in as far as possible remove one of the spheres C . If the quadrantal spheres are in as far as possible replace them with smaller spheres D . If the quadrantal spheres are out as far as possible，move the quadrantal spheres i

A . variation B . deviation C . compass error D . drift

A . The course change should be made rapidly to prevent transient induced magnetism while passing the intercardinal headings B . After the new heading is reached，the vessel should steam on that course for at least two minutes before the adjustment C . During the course change，you should gently tap the compass to remove any error caused by friction on the pivot bearing D . After steadying on the new heading，the compass card should be slewed by a magnet and allowed to oscillate freely to remove any gaussin error

A . If the blue ends of the magnets are aft，and the fore-and-aft tray is at the top，you should add some magnets. B . If the blue ends of the magnets are aft you should lower the fore-and-aft tray C . If the blue ends of the magnets are aft，and the fore-and-aft tray is at the top，you should reverse the magnets D . If the blue ends of the magnets are forward，and the fore-and-aft tray is at the bottom，you should add some magnet

A . If the quadrantal spheres are all the way out，replace them with smaller spheres B . If the quadrantal spheres are all the way in，replace them with larger spheres C .
