A
compose and send a brief message to your own INMARSAT-C terminal
B
send a message to another ship terminal
C
see if the send light flashes, then proper operation has been confirmed
D
send a message to a shore terminal and wait for confirmation
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) compose and send a brief message to your own INMARSAT-C terminal. This is the best way to test the INMARSAT-C terminal because it allows you to confirm the proper operation of the unit without relying on external factors like communication with another ship or shore terminal. Sending a message to your own terminal verifies that the INMARSAT-C is powered on, connected to the satellite network, and able to both compose and transmit a message successfully. The other options, while potentially useful in other contexts, do not provide the same level of self-contained testing for the INMARSAT-C terminal.
