The correct answer is 30°.
In runway design, aircraft takeoff and landing are ideally done into the wind.
However, since wind direction varies, a runway is considered acceptable if the angle between the runway centerline and the prevailing wind direction does not exceed 30°, ensuring safe crosswind limits for most aircraft.
