70% to pass

The signal T 0735 means _______________.

A The longitude is 7° 35'
B The zone time is 0735
C The latitude is 7° 35'
D The Greenwich mean time is 0735
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) The zone time is 0735. The signal T 0735 refers to the zone time, which is the local time at the vessel's location. The zone time is the time used for navigation and communication purposes, and it is typically expressed in the 24-hour format (e.g., 0735 for 7:35 AM). The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the signal T 0735. Option A) and C) refer to latitude and longitude, which are not indicated in this signal. Option D) refers to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is not the same as the zone time.
