70% to passWhat daymark has NO lateral significance?
A
Red triangle
B
Green and white diamond
C
Red triangle with a green horizontal stripe
D
Green square
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Green and white diamond. A green and white diamond daymark has no lateral significance, meaning it does not indicate the left or right side of a channel or waterway. Instead, it is used to mark the center or mid-channel of a waterway. The other options, such as the red triangle (A) or the red triangle with a green horizontal stripe (C), do have lateral significance and indicate the left or right side of a channel. The green square (D) is not a standard daymark used in the US Coast Guard's aids to navigation system.
