AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 80399.
The reason this is the correct answer is that when encoding the wind direction and speed on the WS Form B-80 in a hurricane situation, the wind direction should be encoded as the true direction the wind is coming from (030°T in this case), and the wind speed should be encoded as the speed in knots (119 knots in this case). The encoding for this would be 80399, where 80 indicates the wind direction and 399 indicates the wind speed.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the wind direction and speed information provided in the question.
