Correct Answer: Option D — 150 megohms

Megohmmeter scale graduations follow a logarithmic progression. Reading calibration marks at position "1" against the instrument multiplier scale yields a precise insulation resistance value of 150 megohms, crucial for evaluating winding health under 46 CFR Subchapter J testing mandates.
