B 30° and 50°
C 30° and 60°
D 40° and 60°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 30° and 50°. The LWT (Lightweight) anchor has two angular positions for the flukes, which are 30° and 50°. This is in accordance with the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for anchor design and specifications. The other answer choices are incorrect because 30° and 40° (A), 30° and 60° (C), and 40° and 60° (D) do not match the standard fluke angles prescribed for the LWT anchor type.
