Answer: b. Rely more on flight instruments than normal

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the weather conditions, John Kennedy Jr. became disoriented and in the process did not know which way to best fly to plane towards which means that he lost direction and that was why he crashed.

In such a situation, it is advised that a pilot should rely more on their navigation equipment instead of the horizon or other navigation patterns that could have been affected by the weather. The flight equipment on board would be less affected and so would be safer to use.
