Correct Answer:
A. 300
Explanation:
In Multi-Aspect Signaling (MAS) territory on a Single Line (SL) section, the Home signal acts as the first stop signal for trains entering a station. To ensure safety and provide an adequate buffer for braking or operational maneuvers, Indian Railway standards mandate that the minimum distance between the Home signal and the first facing points of the station must be at least 300 meters. This distance serves as a safety overlap, protecting the point zone from being overshot by an incoming train that fails to stop exactly at the signal. Therefore, the correct answer is 300 meters.
