Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — 2104 on the 4th
Converting Local Mean Time to Greenwich Mean Time (UT) at 124° East longitude requires subtracting 8 hours and 16 minutes (at 4 minutes per degree). Subtracting this time interval from 0520 on the 5th crosses midnight, resulting in 2104 on the 4th.
