This is the standard procedure outlined in the regulations governing the use of visual signaling by the US Coast Guard. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) AR is used to indicate "end of message", B) T is the Morse code for the letter "T" and not a standard acknowledgment signal, and C) E is the Morse code for the letter "E" and also not a standard acknowledgment.
