Question 164Navigation General

The correct answer is C) white with a blue band. According to the Uniform State Waterway Marking System, a mooring buoy is painted white with a blue band. This is because mooring buoys are considered "special purpose" markers, which are not part of the lateral navigation system and can be used to indicate things like anchorage areas or other specific locations. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) yellow is used for hazards or obstructions, B) any color could conflict with the lateral system, and D) white with a green top is used for channel markers.
