This question is in reference to global wind zones - Since Seattle and San Francisco are in the Westerlies zone (30 degrees north to 60 degrees north) the pilot should not set a course directly south, because the winds will blow the plane west, and inland from San Fransisco. Setting a course south-southwest will bring the plane to San Fransisco.
I've seen a lot of responses talking about weather, wind, etc etc. None of that applies. This is 6th grade science. Consider only the wind zone phenomena in isolation for the correct answer.
