A
the icebreaker is icebound
B
icebreaker support is commencing
C
icebreaker support is finished
D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) icebreaker support is finished. The international signal flag hoist "WO" (Whiskey Oscar) indicates that the operation or task being performed by the icebreaker has been completed. This is the standard signal used to communicate that icebreaker support or assistance has been concluded. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) "icebound" refers to the icebreaker being trapped by ice, not the completion of a task; B) the flag hoist does not indicate that icebreaker support is commencing; and D) "beset" means the icebreaker is stuck in the ice, not the completion of an operation.
