What is the alarm signal for dismissal from a boat station or boat drill onboard a merchant ship?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3 short blasts of the whistle.
The alarm signal for dismissal from a boat station or boat drill onboard a merchant ship is 3 short blasts of the whistle, as per the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. This signal is used to indicate that the boat station or drill has been completed, and personnel can safely return to their regular duties.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the SOLAS regulations for this specific alarm signal. Option A describes a longer continuous blast and general alarm, option B has a shorter duration, and option D involves a more complex sequence of whistle blasts that is not the standard alarm for dismissal.
