Which EPIRB transmits a distress alert that is received and relayed by an INMARSAT satellite?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) L-Band EPIRBs.
L-Band EPIRBs transmit a distress alert that is received and relayed by an INMARSAT satellite. This is because L-Band EPIRBs operate on the L-band frequency, which is compatible with the INMARSAT satellite network, allowing for the distress alert to be quickly and reliably transmitted and relayed.
The other options are incorrect because Category I and Class A EPIRBs operate on different frequencies that are not compatible with INMARSAT satellites, while Class B EPIRBs are not designed for satellite-based distress alerting.
