.... Best avg XC speed
will be achieved through answer c.

Ok, answer C says "The best lift/drag speed with no regard to wind
velocity.".

So, my best lift/drag speed is 50 knots and I'm flying into a 50 knot
headwind at 50 indicated. And, I'm going ... where? "A" is the correct
answer, IMHO. Answer "A", in the above example, would get you a ground
speed of 25 knots (75 - 50)- you're not going to do much better than
that. The question, though, is poorly worded.
