The correct answer is B) 870 yards. The advance for a 90-degree turn is the distance traveled by the vessel from the time the turn is commenced until the vessel has turned through 90 degrees. Based on the ranges and bearings provided in the illustration, the advance for a 90-degree turn is 870 yards.
