What is the correct interpretation of the flag hoist F 2 1 3 second substitute?

A F213F213
B F2132
C F213213
D F2131
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) F2131. The flag hoist F 2 1 3 second substitute indicates the code signal "F2131", which means "I am altering my course to starboard." This interpretation is based on the International Code of Signals, which is the standard reference for maritime flag signaling. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the established meaning of the flag hoist. Option A) F213F213 is not a valid signal, while options B) F2132 and C) F213213 do not correspond to the correct interpretation of "I am altering my course to starboard."
