Where is transequatorial propagation (TEP) most likely to occur?

Direct answer summary (2024-2028 NCVEC pool)

The official correct answer for E3B01 is Between points separated by 2,000 miles to 3,000 miles over a path perpendicular to the geomagnetic equator.

The key fact is Between points separated by 2,000 miles to 3,000 miles over a path perpendicular to the geomagnetic equator. Match that fact to the exact condition in the question; the other choices describe a different rule, band, component, or operating situation.
