What is the lifesaving signal for "You are seen - Assistance will be given as soon as possible"?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 3 white star signals.
This is the correct answer because the International Code of Signals specifies that 3 white star signals (or 3 white rockets or shells) is the lifesaving signal to indicate "You are seen - Assistance will be given as soon as possible." This is the internationally recognized visual signal to convey this specific meaning.
The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the standard lifesaving signal for this distress message. Horizontal motion with a white flag, Code letter "K" by blinker light, and vertical motion of a white light are not the prescribed signals for this situation according to maritime regulations.
