Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — DGPS, within a coverage area

Differential GPS (DGPS) provides the highest commercial accuracy by using a fixed reference station to calculate and broadcast corrections for satellite timing and orbital errors. This technique effectively mitigates atmospheric and clock errors, providing sub-meter accuracy within the coverage area, far exceeding standard SPS or uncorrected signals.
