AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2182 kilohertz. This is the internationally recognized radiotelephone distress frequency, as specified in maritime regulations and standards. Vessels in distress can use this frequency to broadcast a mayday call to alert nearby ships and the Coast Guard to their emergency situation. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the established distress frequency. 400 kHz, 2728 kHz, and 8221 kHz are not the designated radiotelephone distress frequencies used in maritime communications.
