In which country would you expect the channels to be marked with the IALA-B Buoyage System?

A New Zealand

B Tanzania

C Norway

D Brazil

AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Brazil. The IALA-B Buoyage System is used to mark channels in countries that are members of the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) Region B, which includes most countries in South America, including Brazil. The IALA-B system is the standard buoyage system used in Brazil and other countries in this region. The other answer choices are incorrect because New Zealand, Tanzania, and Norway are not part of IALA Region B and would not use the IALA-B Buoyage System. They would instead use the IALA-A Buoyage System, which is the standard in other regions.
