Question 1663Navigation General

The correct answer is B) 900 miles. This is because one degree of latitude is equal to approximately 60 nautical miles. Therefore, 15 degrees of latitude would be equal to 15 x 60 = 900 nautical miles. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the conversion between degrees of latitude and nautical miles. For example, 600 miles, 1200 miles, and 1500 miles do not match the actual distance covered by 15 degrees of latitude.
