Which of the following is not the angle between the horizontal component of B and true north?(a) Magnetic declination(b) Magnetic variation(c) Dip angle(d) MagvarI have been asked this question in homework.This question is from Vertical & Heading References in section Air Data Systems, Altitude and Heading Reference of Avionics

Answer» CORRECT option is (C) Dip angle

To explain: The magnetic declination, also called the magnetic variation or magvar, is the angle between the HORIZONTAL component of B and true north. Navigators use ‘magvar’ in order not to CONFUSE ASTRONOMICAL declination with magnetic declination.
