AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) immediately contact the nearest Coast Guard office by radiotelephone.
If you observe a buoy that is off station, meaning it has drifted from its intended position, the proper procedure is to immediately contact the nearest Coast Guard office by radiotelephone. This allows the Coast Guard to be notified in a timely manner so they can take action to correct the issue and ensure the safety of maritime traffic. The other options are not the correct response, as they either take too long (mailing a form) or do not directly notify the Coast Guard of the problem.
