For the 1:1000 sectional cadastral map at the top right, what is the cadastral designation?

The concept being tested is how a sectional cadastral map identifies a map area using a geographic position plus a section code. On a 1:1000 sectional map, you read the label that combines the coordinates and the section within the township to know exactly where that panel covers. The top-right map panel shows the designation CM 14°49'N -120°54'E sec. 1-B, which means this map area sits at 14°49' North, 120°54' East and belongs to section 1-B of that township. The other options would have different coordinates or a different section code, so they wouldn’t match the top-right panel.
