Which option provides the latest coordinate value for the latitude of a triangulation station, with the correct value placed last?

In triangulation coordinates, latitude is written in degrees, minutes, and seconds, and the time aspect of a measurement is carried in the seconds field. When the question asks for the latest coordinate value, the most recent reading is indicated by the largest seconds value, since seconds reflect when the measurement was taken within a minute. Looking at the options, the seconds values are 30.000, 20.000, 10.000, and 41.000. The largest is 41.000, which appears in N 13° 33' 41.000. That means this latitude value corresponds to the most recent measurement among the choices, so it’s the latest coordinate value.
