AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) MSI and messages to pre-defined groups of subscribers. Safety NET is a part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) that provides Maritime Safety Information (MSI) and other important messages to mariners. Through Safety NET, the Coast Guard and other authorized agencies can broadcast MSI such as weather forecasts, navigational warnings, and other critical information to pre-defined groups of subscribers, like vessels in a particular region. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the capabilities of the Safety NET system.
