AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Preferred channel mark. Preferred channel marks, which indicate the preferred navigational route, do not display white retro-reflective material. Instead, they are marked with red and green colors, often with a red triangle and green square, to clearly indicate the preferred direction of travel.
