AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Securite. The word "Securite" is used to preface a message concerning the safety of navigation. This is the standard procedure for transmitting information related to navigational safety, as specified in maritime communication protocols. The other options are incorrect because: A) "Safety" is a general term and not the specific word used to preface such messages.
