What does the single letter G, sent by an icebreaker to an assisted vessel, mean?

A "I am going ahead; follow me"
B "I require a pilot"
C "Do not follow me"
D "Longitude follows"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) "I am going ahead; follow me". This is the correct answer because the single letter "G" is a standard visual signal used by icebreakers to indicate that they are going ahead and the assisted vessel should follow them. This is a common procedure when icebreakers are leading other vessels through ice-covered waters to help them navigate safely. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the meaning of the "G" signal used by icebreakers.
