The observation that most accurately reflects the benefits of using the Mercator projection over a Mollweide projection is:
**Because the Mercator projection preserves the accuracy of directions, it can be used for navigation.**
The Mercator projection is particularly well-suited for navigation because it maintains constant compass bearings (angles) and allows for straight-line course plotting, making it a useful tool for maritime navigation.
