Diagram for USCG Electrical QMED: As shown in the illustration, what event would give the same indication that...
Astern light "2" burns out
Bstern light trouble lamp burns out
Ctrouble buzzer coil open circuits
Dtrouble relay normally closed contacts open
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) stern light "2" burns out. When a stern light circuit fuse blows open, the stern light "2" would no longer receive power and would burn out, giving the same indication as if the stern light itself had burned out. This is because the stern light circuit would be interrupted, causing the stern light to extinguish. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the indication that would occur when the stern light circuit fuse blows open. The stern light trouble lamp, trouble buzzer coil, and trouble relay would not provide the same indication as a burned-out stern light.
