AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) continuous quick white light and may be numbered. A buoy marking a wreck will show a continuous quick white light to indicate the wreck's location. This is in accordance with the U.S. Aids to Navigation System, which specifies that a wreck buoy must display a quick flashing white light. The buoy may also be numbered to provide additional identification. The other options are incorrect. Option B describes a different light pattern (white light FL (2)), option C refers to the color code for a can buoy, and option D refers to the color code for a nun buoy, neither of which are specifically used for marking wrecks.
