Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — 11 min. 28 sec.
To convert arc to time, divide the arc by 15. 2 degrees equals 8 minutes (2 * 60 = 120 minutes / 15 = 8 minutes). 52 minutes of arc equals 3 minutes 28 seconds (52 / 15 = 3.466 minutes). Summing these gives 11 minutes 28 seconds, as per standard navigational conversion tables.
