The correct answer is D) The auxiliary line must be of a light color.

The auxiliary line needs to be of sufficient length (at least 1500 feet) and strength, but its color is not specified. The other answer choices are correct statements. A) The actual firing of the line throwing appliance is at the discretion of the Master. B) The auxiliary line must be at least 1500 feet long. C) A drill on the use of the line throwing appliance must be held once every three months.
