A
250 knots.✓ Correct Answer
B
210 knots.
C
200 knots.
Explanation
AIM 4-4-12 says ATC will not assign speeds below 250 knots to turbojets operating at or above FL240 (unless the pilot agrees). 210 knots is the minimum below 10,000 feet more than 20 miles from the airport, and 170 knots applies within 20 miles.
