Correct Answer: Option A — 1152
Determine the time of LAN by calculating the difference between the vessel's longitude and the zone meridian. Adjust the DR position for the vessel's movement toward the meridian. The time correction, based on the longitude difference of 64°37'E, results in a local apparent noon time of 1152.
