A
15 to 20 miles
B
60 to 90 miles
C

D
120 to 150 miles
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 15 to 20 miles. The typical range for vessel-to-vessel VHF-FM radio communications is 15 to 20 miles. This is due to the limitations of VHF radio waves, which tend to travel line-of-sight and are affected by obstructions like land and buildings. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they significantly overestimate the typical range of VHF communications between vessels.
