Question 3754 Deck General

70% to pass

Each emergency light must be marked with _______________.

A a no-smoking symbol
B an arrow pointing to the nearest exit
C the letter "E"
D the word "DANGER"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the letter "E". According to the regulations for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, each emergency light must be marked with the letter "E" to clearly indicate its purpose as an emergency light. This is a standard requirement to ensure emergency lighting is easily identifiable in the event of a power failure or other emergency situation onboard a vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirement for emergency light markings. A "no-smoking" symbol, an exit arrow, and the word "DANGER" do not adequately identify the light as an emergency fixture, as the regulations stipulate the use of the letter "E".
