A special purpose buoy shall be _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) yellow.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a special purpose buoy shall be yellow in color. This is specified in the Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook, which governs the use and placement of buoys and other aids to navigation. The yellow color is used to distinguish special purpose buoys from other types of buoys, such as channel markers or regulatory buoys.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) striped black and red is the pattern used for lateral buoys, C) a white light is not the standard for special purpose buoys, and D) a red light is used for certain regulatory buoys, not special purpose buoys.
