AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) ZL. According to the International Code of Signals, the signal ZL indicates that the receiving station can distinguish the flag signal of the transmitting station, but cannot understand its meaning. This allows the receiving station to communicate that they have visually identified the signal, but do not comprehend the message being conveyed. The other options are incorrect because ZR is used to request repetition of a signal, ZK indicates that the receiving station understands the signal, and ZP is used to signal that the transmitting station should spell out the message.
