A
2,100 feet MSL.
B
4,000 feet MSL.
C
5,800 feet MSL.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
The plan view of the PDX RNAV (GPS) X RWY 28L chart shows a single-sector Minimum Safe Altitude of 5,800 feet MSL within 25 NM of RW28L. Per AIM 5-4-5 the MSA provides 1,000 feet of obstacle clearance for emergency use within that radius. 2,100 feet is the initial climb altitude of the missed approach and 4,000 feet is the holding altitude at UBG.
