In the LAHSO example phrase, which runway is the landing aircraft cleared to land on?

Explanation:
LAHSO clears a landing aircraft to touch down on a specific runway while also instructing the pilot to stop short of a designated point. The runway name in the clearance is exactly the runway the aircraft is authorized to land on. In this example, the clearance specifies Runway 36, so the landing aircraft is cleared to land on Runway 36. Runway numbers reflect magnetic headings, with 36 representing roughly 360 degrees (due north). The other options correspond to different headings and would indicate different runways, which wouldn’t match the clearance shown in the LAHSO phrase.
