A
755 yards
B
780 yards
C
820 yards
D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 880 yards. The tactical diameter of a turning circle is the diameter of the circle that the vessel's centerline traces during a 180-degree turn. Based on the data provided in illustration D035DG, the tactical diameter is 880 yards. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the tactical diameter shown in the illustration. Option A (755 yards) and B (780 yards) are too small, while option C (820 yards) is also not the correct value.
