A A
B B
C C
D D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. The radio call beginning with the words "Pan-Pan" indicates a situation of urgency, where there is a potential threat to safety or property, but the situation is not immediately life-threatening. This is the appropriate response for a U.S. Coast Guard call addressed to all stations. The other answer choices (B, C, and D) do not accurately reflect the meaning of the "Pan-Pan" radio call, which is distinct from other emergency signals like "Mayday" (for immediate life-threatening situations) or routine informational broadcasts.
