70% to pass

A call between any two ship stations on an intership working frequency shall have a maximum duration of _______________.

A 2 minutes
B 3 minutes
C 4 minutes
D 5 minutes
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 3 minutes. According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, a call between any two ship stations on an intership working frequency shall have a maximum duration of 3 minutes. This limit is in place to ensure efficient use of the shared radio spectrum and prevent any single station from monopolizing the frequency. The other options are incorrect because 2 minutes (A) would be too short, while 4 minutes (C) and 5 minutes (D) would exceed the 3-minute regulatory limit set by the FCC for intership communications on working frequencies.
