A
Safety signal
B
Distress signal
C
Urgency signal
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Urgency signal. The urgency signal is used to indicate that a person or vessel is in need of assistance but is not in immediate danger. This would be the appropriate signal to use to call a boat to come assist a man overboard, as the person is in need of help but not necessarily in a life-threatening situation. The other answer choices are incorrect because the safety signal is used for non-emergency communications, and the distress signal is reserved for situations where there is grave and imminent danger to life or property.
