AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Make a voice announcement to cancel the alert on Ch-16. After sending a false distress alert on VHF, the proper procedure is to make a voice announcement on the international distress and safety channel (VHF channel 16) to cancel the alert. This is in accordance with the regulations set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) regarding the proper handling of false distress calls. The other options are incorrect because they do not involve the appropriate channel (Ch-16) for canceling a false distress alert.
