80 - 100 kts
Correct Answer
A. 41 - 85 kts
Explanation The correct answer is 41 - 85 kts. This range represents the full flap operating range of the aircraft. Flaps are aerodynamic surfaces on the wings that are extended to increase lift and drag during takeoff and landing. The range of 41 - 85 kts indicates the speed at which the flaps can be fully extended or retracted without causing any damage to the aircraft or compromising its performance.
