Question 14 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) searchlight. A searchlight is one of the signals, other than a distress signal, that can be used by a rescue boat to attract attention. Searchlights are an effective way to signal for help and draw the attention of nearby vessels or aircraft during a rescue operation. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) A burning barrel is not a recognized signal for attracting attention during a rescue. C) Orange smoke signals are typically used as distress signals, not for general attention-getting. D) Red star shells are also primarily used as distress signals, not for attracting attention during a rescue.
