Question 303Deck Safety70% to pass
A message by flashing light consists of four elements, including the call, the identity, the text, and what fourth element?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) ending.
The four elements of a message transmitted by flashing light are: the call, the identity, the text, and the ending. The ending signifies the completion of the message transmission. This is in accordance with the standard procedures for visual signaling and communications used by the U.S. Coast Guard and other maritime authorities.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the four core elements of a flashing light message. The destination and time are not considered separate elements, and "answer" is not a standard component of the message structure.
