Maneuvering speed.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
PHAK Chapter 8 notes that some important limitations, such as design maneuvering speed (VA), are not marked on the airspeed indicator and must be found in the POH or on placards. The never-exceed speed is the red line, and the maximum structural cruising speed is the top of the green arc.
