AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Yellow buoy.

The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) A white and international orange buoy is used to mark special areas or regulations, not dredging operations. C) A white buoy with a green top is used to mark the safe water between two channels. D) A yellow and black vertically striped buoy is used to mark a wreck or other obstruction, not dredging.
