The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) a yellow triangle is used to mark the preferred channel of a bifurcation, C) a black-and-white diamond is used to mark obstructions or danger areas, and D) three white lights would indicate the center of a channel, but this is not the specific marking used on a bridge.
