      "options": ["A) 36°", "B) 82°", "C) 124°", "D) 154°"],
      "correct_answer": "D",
      "explanation": "A complete loop tracks exactly 360°. Summing equations: $x + (2x + 10) + (3x - 20) + (4x + 10) = 10x = 360 \\Rightarrow x = 36$. The maximum single layout quadrant evaluates to $4(36) + 10 = 154°$."
