ANS: D
The most efficient route to sail from the United States to Europe is a northern route. This allows the
ship to use the prevailing westerlies. In the reverse journey, a southern route would ensure the use of
the more dependable Easterly trade winds. Information can be found in the section Voyaging
Combined with Science to Advance Ocean Studies.
