It is unlawful to approach within how many yards of a northern right whale?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 500 yards.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, it is unlawful to approach within 500 yards of a northern right whale. This regulation is in place to protect these endangered marine mammals from potential disturbance or harm caused by close proximity to vessels. The other answer choices (200, 300, and 400 yards) are incorrect as they do not match the legal requirement of 500 yards specified in the Coast Guard regulations.
