A

DEANI intersection.

B

WHITE CLOUD VOR/DME.✓ Correct Answer

C

MAJUB intersection.

Explanation

The minimum safe altitude circle on the 7D3 VOR/DME or GPS-A chart (Figure 230) is labeled "MSA HIC 25 NM" with a single sector of 2800, meaning it is centered on the HIC facility, White Cloud VOR/DME, and covers 25 NM around it. DEANI and MAJUB are fixes on the approach course, not MSA centers.
