Answer: (A)

Diamond miles are distance markers along a military airway that show how far you have to travel to reach the next fix on that leg. They help you gauge position and progress while flying the route. For V555 from MHZ toward MCB, the marker you’d use on that segment is 35 miles in the southeast direction from MHZ. So if you’re at MHZ and proceeding toward MCB, you’d expect the diamond mile marker to indicate 35 miles to go in the SE direction. This is why the correct interpretation is 35 miles SE from MHZ.
