C Correct answer
Explanation

A cable's length in nautical terms is defined as 720 feet, which is equivalent to 120 fathoms (since 1 fathom equals 6 feet). Both measurements are correct and equivalent representations of the same distance. This is a standard maritime measurement used for depth and distance at sea.

AI explanation

A cable's length is a nautical unit historically defined as 720 feet, which is also equivalent to 120 fathoms since one fathom equals 6 feet (120 × 6 = 720). Since both figures describe the same length, 'Both 1 and 2' is the accurate choice.
