AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. Under the IALA Buoyage System, a buoy with a quick light showing 3 flashes every 10 seconds would be fitted with a topmark consisting of three black spheres, as shown in illustration D030NG. This topmark configuration indicates that the buoy is marking a special feature or area, such as a wreck or a zone with specific navigational requirements. The other answer choices are incorrect because they depict different topmark configurations that do not match the lighting characteristics described in the question.
