  1. A12 hours.Correct answer
  2. B24hours.
  3. C36 hours.
  4. D48 hours.

Why this is the answer

CAR 602.03 sets the "bottle-to-throttle" rule: no person shall act as a crew member within 12 hours after consuming an alcoholic beverage (and never while under its influence). The longer 24/36/48-hour options exceed what the regulation actually requires.
