What is the radiotelephone safety signal?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) "Securite" repeated 3 times.
The radiotelephone safety signal is "Securite" repeated three times, which alerts other vessels that an important navigational or weather-related message is about to be transmitted. This is the established international standard for communicating safety information over radio.
The other options are incorrect because "Safety" is not the recognized safety signal, "Pan Pan" indicates an urgent situation, and "Securite Securite" is redundant, as "Securite" alone is the proper safety signal.
