AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) general information. According to the United States Coast Guard navigation rules and aids to navigation, a white buoy with an orange rectangle on it is used to indicate a buoy providing general information to mariners. This type of buoy does not mark an exclusion area, a danger, or a controlled area - it simply conveys general informational messages to vessels in the vicinity. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of this type of buoy. A white buoy with an orange rectangle is not used to mark off an exclusion area, a danger, or a controlled area - it is a general information marker.
