Answer Notes
The 6-meter amateur radio band in the United States spans from 50.0 MHz to 54.0 MHz. The frequency 52.525 MHz falls right in the middle of this range and is actually the widely used national simplex calling frequency for 6-meter FM.
The other options belong to different bands or are outside amateur allocations altogether. For example, 28.50 MHz is part of the 10-meter band, and 222.15 MHz is in the 1.25-meter band. The frequency 49.00 MHz is just below the 6-meter band and is historically used for consumer electronics, not amateur radio.
