What is your answer?
The connection between virtue and happiness is not
{ 1 } - logical or analytic in the sense that virtue includes happiness.
{ 2 } - mediate, through the agency of God, for virtue produces happiness immediately in the sensible world.
{ 3 } - that virtue produces happiness is only conditionally false, on the condition that I exist only as a physical object in the sensible world.
{ 4 } - necessary and thus a priori, in the sense that virtue should produce happiness.
{ 5 } - synthetic, in the sense that virtue produces happiness as a cause produces its effect.

Otherwise the pursuit of virtue would be the pursuit of happiness, and Kant thinks happiness is heteronomous and not the ground of the moral law. See p. 336
