The Natchez radial is described as slightly north of which radial and running toward which VOR?

Radials are straight-line bearings from a VOR, and description like “slightly north of” a given radial places your path just above that line. If the Natchez radial is described as slightly north of the 245-degree radial and you’re flying toward the VOR at VKS, the direction along that line toward VKS falls in the northeast quadrant. So the Natchez path sits just north of the 245-degree line and heads northeast toward VKS. The other options would place the path relative to a different radial or in a direction that doesn’t align with the northeastward approach toward VKS.
