You are required to enter a lock on your voyage. Information on the lock regulations, signals, and radio communications can be found in _______________.

A Coast Pilot
B the publication "Key to the Locks"
C Corps of Engineers Information Bulletin
D Bowditch
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Coast Pilot. The Coast Pilot is a comprehensive publication that provides detailed information on navigational features, regulations, and procedures for U.S. coastal and inland waterways, including locks and lock operations. It includes specific details on lock signals, radio communications, and other requirements that mariners must be aware of when transiting locks. This makes the Coast Pilot the authoritative source for the information needed to properly navigate and communicate when entering a lock. The other options are incorrect because they do not contain the level of detailed, navigational information found in the Coast Pilot regarding lock operations and requirements.
