Question 247Navigation General

The correct answer is A) White. White and orange buoys, if lighted, show a white light. This is in accordance with the United States Aids to Navigation System, which specifies that white lights are used to mark the safe water areas of a channel or fairway. The other answer choices are incorrect because yellow/white lights are used for special purpose buoys, red lights are used for port-hand (left-side) markers, and orange lights are not part of the standard buoy lighting system.
