How should the number "3" be pronounced when spoken on the radiotelephone?

A TRIC-THREE
B NUM-ERL-THREE
C TAY-RAH-TREE
D BEES-SOH-THREE
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) TAY-RAH-TREE. According to the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, the standard pronunciation for the number "3" is "TAY-RAY-THREE". This is the official pronunciation specified in the regulations governing radiotelephone communication, including for the US Coast Guard Captain's License exams. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the established standard pronunciation guidelines. A, B, and D all use non-standard pronunciations that would not be recognized or understood on the radiotelephone.
