Aa burned out navigation light in effected line section
Btransfer switch in the "off" position
Cmaster switch in the "off" position
Da blown 10 amp fuse in master section
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) a burned out navigation light in the affected line section. The wiring diagram shows a semi-automatic navigation lighting panel circuit, which is designed to monitor the status of the navigation lights. When a navigation light burns out, it breaks the circuit, causing the buzzer to sound and the indicator light to illuminate for that line section. This alerts the operator to the issue so they can address the burned out light. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) the transfer switch being in the "off" position would not cause the buzzer and indicator light to activate, C) the master switch being in the "off" position would shut off power to the entire circuit, and D) a blown fuse in the master section would disable the entire circuit, not just a single line section.
