Can someone check the following:

I'm unsure between B and D

ok so you did the math just fine

#

at this point, there's no math--just look at it visually

if you're thinking D, you're right

26.57 degrees would be this

I've looked at many videos about it; but they never once covered it

#

so generally, arctan can only tell you an angle between -90 degrees and 90 degrees

#

but sometimes you're working with an angle that isn't in that range

I'd say very generally, you should add 180 degrees if the vector is pointing overall to the "left"
