Which term involves using and countering naval mines?

• A. Managing naval logistics
• B. Using and countering naval mines
• C. Conducting long-range precision strikes
• D. Coordinating amphibious operations

Answer: (B)

Mine warfare is the practice that covers both employing naval mines and countering them. It includes deploying minefields to deny or shape sea areas, as well as developing and applying countermeasures to detect, neutralize, or avoid those mines so friendly ships can operate safely. The option that literally describes using and countering naval mines matches this dual focus, making it the best choice.

Other domains mentioned don’t center on mines. Managing naval logistics deals with sustaining operations and supply lines, long-range precision strikes refer to distant offensive weapons without involving mine use or countermeasures, and coordinating amphibious operations focuses on landing forces and organzing assaults. None of these inherently integrate both the deployment of mines and the methods to counter them.
