The red radial line.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

On the Figure 4 airspeed indicator, as PHAK Chapter 8 explains, the red radial line marks the never-exceed speed (VNE). The top of the green arc is the maximum structural cruising speed (VNO) and the top of the white arc is the maximum flap-extended speed (VFE).
