How can the SART's audible tone monitor be used?

A It informs survivors that a nearby vessel is signaling on DSC.
B It informs survivors when the SART switches to the standby mode.
C It informs survivors that assistance may be nearby.
D It informs survivors when the battery's charge condition has weakened.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) It informs survivors that assistance may be nearby. The audible tone monitor on a SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) is designed to alert survivors that a nearby vessel or aircraft may have detected the SART's signal, indicating that help is on the way. When the SART is activated, it emits a radar signal that is detected by nearby rescue craft, and the audible tone notifies the survivors that their distress signal has been received. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) A SART does not signal on DSC (Digital Selective Calling), B) The audible tone does not indicate the SART is in standby mode, and D) The tone does not indicate the battery condition, but rather the detection of the SART signal by rescue assets.
