AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 30 minutes. In a national emergency, when communicating via the Navy, messages sent with the IMMEDIATE precedence are required to be delivered within 30 minutes. This is a standard protocol for urgent messages during crisis situations, where timely delivery of critical information is paramount.
