A buoy with a composite group-flashing light indicates a(n) _______________.

A fish net area
B anchorage area
C dredging area
D bifurcation
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) bifurcation. A buoy with a composite group-flashing light indicates a bifurcation, which is a point where a channel divides into two or more parts. This type of light signal is used to mark these important decision points for mariners to navigate safely. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the meaning of a composite group-flashing light buoy. A fish net area, anchorage area, and dredging area would not be indicated by this type of light signal.
