What is the characteristic of a quick light?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Shows not less than 60 flashes per minute.
A quick light, as defined in the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, is a light that shows not less than 60 flashes per minute. This characteristic helps distinguish a quick light from other types of lights, such as a flashing light or a group-flashing light. The 60 flashes per minute or more is the defining feature that makes a light a "quick light" according to the Coast Guard standards.
The other answer choices do not accurately describe the characteristics of a quick light. For example, option A describes a group-flashing light, and option D describes a different type of quick light that is not the standard definition.
