What is maximum power allowed by the FCC for VHF-FM radio transmissions?

A One watt
B Five watts
C 15 watts
D 25 watts
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 25 watts. The FCC regulations allow a maximum power output of 25 watts for VHF-FM radio transmissions, including those used by the US Coast Guard. This power limit is set to ensure efficient use of the VHF radio spectrum and to prevent interference between nearby transmitters. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the FCC's established power limit for VHF-FM marine radio communications.
