Question 323 Deck Safety
70% to passThe signal L1210 means the _______________.
The correct answer is C) latitude is 12°10'. The signal L1210 indicates the latitude of a location, where the "L" stands for "latitude" and the numbers "1210" represent 12°10'. This is a common format used in maritime navigation and communications to precisely specify the latitude of a position. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the L1210 signal. Option A is incorrect as it would represent longitude, not latitude. Option B is incorrect as it would represent Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), not latitude. Option D is incorrect as it would represent a time zone, not latitude.
