What is the minimum license requirement of a GMDSS Radio Operator?

A Holding either the General Radiotelephone Operator License or the First or Second Class Radiotelegraph License with GMDSS Radio Maintainer's Endorsement is sufficient.
B Holding a valid GMDSS Radio Operator License is sufficient.
C Holding the General Radiotelephone Operator License with RADAR endorsement is sufficient.
D Holding the Marine Radio Operator Permit is a pre-requisite before the GMDSS Radio Operator Endorsement can be obtained.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Holding a valid GMDSS Radio Operator License is sufficient. The GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) Radio Operator License is the minimum license requirement to operate GMDSS radio equipment on board vessels. This license is specifically designed to ensure that operators have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively use GMDSS equipment for maritime distress and safety communications. The other options are not sufficient, as they either do not specifically address GMDSS requirements (options A and C) or are not the primary license (option D).
