Answer Notes
The 20-metre band in Canada operates between 14.000 MHz and 14.350 MHz. It is arguably the most popular band for daytime long-distance (DX) communications worldwide.
Using the formula 300 / 14.175 MHz (the center of the band) yields approximately 21.1 metres, which the amateur community designates as the 20-metre band.
The provided distractors place the frequencies too high or too low; for example, 15 MHz is universally reserved for standard time and frequency stations like WWV, not amateur operators.
