What is the meaning of the signal QU RQ when sent by the International Code of Signals?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Is anchoring prohibited. The International Code of Signals is a standardized set of signals used in maritime communication. The signal "QU RQ" corresponds to the question "Is anchoring prohibited?". This code is used to quickly convey specific information between vessels or between a vessel and a shore station. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) "Interrogative" is not a specific meaning for the "QU RQ" signal. C) The call sign of a vessel is not related to the "QU RQ" signal meaning. D) "Will you lead me to a safe anchorage" is a different question that does not match the "QU RQ" signal meaning.
