Question 289Deck Safety70% to pass
If you send a flag hoist of MAJ 8, what information are you conveying?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) I have a male age 8 years.
The flag hoist "MAJ 8" indicates that the person sending the signal has a male of age 8 years. In the International Code of Signals used by maritime vessels, the flag "M" represents a male, and the numeral "8" represents the age. Therefore, the complete flag hoist "MAJ 8" conveys the information that the sender has a male individual who is 8 years old.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the flag hoist "MAJ 8". Options A, B, and D do not correspond to the specific information being conveyed by this particular flag signal.
