AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) on or near the navigating bridge.

Option B is incorrect as the signals should not be stowed in an enclosed space below the freeboard deck. Option C is incorrect as the signals should not be on the flying bridge. Option D is incorrect as the signals should not be stowed above the freeboard deck.
