Which statement about a great circle track between Cape Flattery (LAT 48°30'N, LONG 125°00'W) and Guam (LAT 14°00'N, LONG 145°00'E) is TRUE? (Use gnomonic tracking chart WOXZC 5270)

Correct Answer: Option D — Military exercises being carried out within a 150 mile radius of LAT 47°10'N, LONG 137°30'W will interfere with the proposed track line.

Great circle tracks plotted on gnomonic charts appear as straight lines. Option D is correct because the track line passes through the specified coordinates, meaning any military exercise zone within 150 miles of that position will physically obstruct the intended navigation path, requiring a course alteration.
