A53 miles
B100 miles
C200 miles
D300 miles
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 200 miles. The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States extends from the baseline of the territorial sea seaward for a distance of 200 nautical miles. This is defined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which the United States recognizes as reflecting customary international law. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the established 200-mile limit of the U.S. EEZ.
