AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) standard phonetic alphabet. Using the standard phonetic alphabet, such as "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie," helps avoid confusion over unusual words when communicating via marine radio.

The other options are not relevant to avoiding confusion over unusual words on the marine radio.
