AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) ZL. According to the International Code of Signals, the signal ZL indicates that the receiving station can distinguish the flag signal of the transmitting station, but cannot understand its meaning. This allows the receiving station to communicate that they have visually identified the signal, but do not comprehend the message being conveyed.
