  2. B. 225 degrees
  3. C. 135 degrees
  4. D. 112.5 degrees

Why A is correct

33 CFR §83.21(e) defines an all-round light as one showing an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 360 degrees. The two lights required by Rule 29 (§83.29(a)(i)) are all-round lights and therefore each cover 360 degrees.
