AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) None of the above. The lifesaving signal indicating "You are seen - Assistance will be given as soon as possible" is not any of the provided answer choices. The correct signal is the waving of the arms or a white flag in a sweeping motion from side to side above the head. This signal is outlined in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which are the standard regulations that govern maritime navigation and safety, including lifesaving signals. The other answer choices do not correspond to this specific lifesaving signal.
