To find the maximum relief, we need to find the difference between the highest summit elevation and the lowest base elevation.
The lowest base elevation is given as 2,105 ft.
The highest summit elevation is 2,565 ft.
Therefore, the maximum relief is:
2,565 ft - 2,105 ft = 460 ft 
So, the correct choice is B, 460 ft.
