Which buoy will NOT display white retro-reflective material?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Preferred channel mark.

The other options, A) Daymark of no lateral significance, B) Isolated danger mark, and D) Safe watermark, all display white retro-reflective material to enhance their visibility and aid navigation, but the preferred channel mark does not.
