At coordinates 14°49'N, 120°54'E, which cadastral number corresponds to the 1:250 scale in the top-left quadrant?

The map uses a cadastral coding system that encodes location, then divides the area into quadrants for different scales. The top-left portion of a sheet is the NW quadrant. For the 1:250 scale layer, that NW quadrant is further split into four tiles, numbered 1 through 4. The coordinates given fall into the fourth tile, so the correct cadastral number is the one that ends with NW-4. In full, that is CM 14°49'N-120°54'E sec.1-A-NW-4. The other options correspond to the same location but to the first, second, or third tile, which do not match the actual tile for this coordinate.
