AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) composite group-flashing, Fl(2+1). Under the IALA Buoyage System, safe water marks, which indicate safe passage around the mark, typically display a composite group-flashing light characteristic. This means the light will flash in a pattern of two short flashes followed by one longer flash, repeating continuously. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the standard light characteristic for safe water marks.
