AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 140 yards (126 meters). The transfer for a turn of 60 degrees can be determined from the maneuvering characteristics data shown in the illustration. The transfer is the distance the vessel moves perpendicular to the original course line during the turn. Based on the information provided, the transfer for a 60-degree turn is 140 yards (126 meters).
