What does the signal "AS", when used in signaling by the International Code of Signals mean?

A Repeat this signal
B Wait
C Over
D Finished with transmission
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Wait. The signal "AS" when used in signaling by the International Code of Signals means "Wait". This signal is used to indicate that the sending station is about to suspend transmission and will call again. It is a request for the receiving station to standby and await further communication. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) "Repeat this signal" is not the meaning of the "AS" signal. C) "Over" refers to the end of a transmission, not waiting. D) "Finished with transmission" also does not match the meaning of the "AS" signal.
