70% to pass

In which source could you find the number of a chart for a certain geographic area?

A Chart No. 1
B American Practical Navigator
C Catalog of Charts
D U.S. Coast Guard Light List
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Catalog of Charts. The Catalog of Charts is the reference source that contains the chart numbers for specific geographic areas. This catalog is published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and lists all the navigational charts available for US coastal and inland waters, including their corresponding chart numbers. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Chart No. 1 is a publication that provides a legend and symbols used on nautical charts, but does not contain the chart numbers themselves. B) The American Practical Navigator is a comprehensive reference book on navigation, but does not specifically list the chart numbers for geographic areas. D) The U.S. Coast Guard Light List contains information about navigational aids, but does not provide the chart numbers.
