Answer:

<u>B. East of NYC</u>

Explanation:

We can make this conclusion because for one reason New York City is the Northern Hemisphere, and according to the Coriolis effect <em>when objects in the Northern Hemisphere travel long distances above the ground, </em><em>they will be deflected to the right </em>as a result of earth's rotation.

Hence, going by the map of New York on the Northern Hemisphere, <em>when the (object) flight is deflected to the right, for someone in NYC it will indicate a </em><em>shift to the east of NYC</em><em> </em>since the pilot failed to take the Coriolis Effect into account.
