B Correct answer
Explanation

According to international law (UNCLOS), the territorial waters of any country extend up to 12 nautical miles from the baseline. Within this zone, the coastal state has sovereignty over the airspace, seabed, and subsoil. The 7-mile option refers to an older cannon-shot rule, while 15 and 18 miles are not standard international measures.
