AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Can you proceed at 1035 local time. The International Code of Signals is a standardized system of signals used internationally for communication between ships. The signal "SA T1035 RQ" indicates a request for the recipient to proceed at 1035 local time. The "SA" component indicates a request or query, while "T1035" specifies the time of 10:35 local time. Therefore, the correct interpretation of this signal is that the sender is requesting the recipient to proceed at 1035 local time. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the signal. Option A refers to altering course, Option B refers to latitude, and Option C refers to longitude, none of which are indicated in the given signal.
