Question 1159Navigation General

The correct answer is C) Beaufort force 12. According to the Beaufort wind scale, a Beaufort force of 12 corresponds to a wind speed of 63-72 knots, which includes a wind speed of 65 knots. The Beaufort scale is a standardized system used to estimate wind speeds based on observed conditions, and it is commonly used in maritime operations and weather reporting. The other answer choices are incorrect because Beaufort force 0 corresponds to a wind speed of 0-1 knots, Beaufort force 6.5 is not a recognized value on the scale, and Beaufort force 15 corresponds to a wind speed greater than 88 knots, which is higher than the 65 knots specified in the question.
