D
The autoalarm
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) X-Band Radar. X-Band radar is the type of radar that is designed to detect signals from a Search and Rescue Transponder (SART). SARTs operate on the 9 GHz X-Band frequency, and when activated, they emit a signal that is detectable by X-Band radar equipment on nearby vessels. This allows the SART to be located and the distressed vessel to be found. The other options, S-Band radar, DSC receiver, and autoalarm, are not specifically designed to detect SART signals.
