AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 470 yards. The advance for a turn of 30 degrees can be determined from the data provided in illustration D035DG. The advance is the distance the vessel travels in the direction of its original course during the turn. From the data, the advance for a 30-degree turn is 470 yards. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value shown in the illustration for a 30-degree turn. Option A (380 yards) and Option B (420 yards) are too low, while Option D (525 yards) is too high. The correct value, as confirmed by the illustration, is 470 yards.
