The Earth's magnetic field at a certain place has a horizontal component of $0.3 \ G$ and the total strength of $0.5 \ G$. The angle of dip is:

  • A
    $\tan^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1} \left( \frac{4}{3} \right)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{5} \right)$
