Where would you expect to find channels marked with the IALA-A Buoyage System?

A Canada
B Japan
C India
D Argentina
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) India. The IALA-A (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities - Region A) Buoyage System is used in countries located in the Eastern Hemisphere, including India. Countries in the Western Hemisphere, such as the United States, Canada, and Argentina, use the IALA-B Buoyage System instead. The other answer choices are incorrect because Canada, Japan, and Argentina are not countries that use the IALA-A Buoyage System for their channels and waterways.
