B 30° and 50°
C 30° and 60°
D 40° and 60°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 30° and 50°. The LWT (Lightweight) anchor has two angular positions for the flukes, which are 30° and 50°. This is the standard configuration for this type of anchor, as specified in the relevant regulations and industry standards for anchor design and construction. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the standard angular positions for the LWT anchor flukes. Option A (30° and 40°) and Option D (40° and 60°) are not the correct fluke angles, while Option C (30° and 60°) is also not the standard configuration for this anchor type.
