Question 104Navigation General

The correct answer is C) Fixed. The United States Coast Guard's Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook states that special purpose marks can use a fixed light characteristic. This means the light is steady and unblinking, without any flashing, occulting, or other patterns. The fixed light is used to indicate the location or nature of a special feature or area. The other answer choices, such as occulting, equal interval, and quick flashing, are typically used for different types of navigational marks and do not apply to special purpose marks.
