Question 347Navigation General

The correct answer is A) red. Under the U.S. Aids to Navigation System on the Western Rivers, the buoys marking the starboard (right) side of the channel when going upstream (towards the source of the river) will be red. This is in accordance with the standard navigation rules, where red buoys indicate the starboard side of the channel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) black buoys are not used in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System, C) green buoys mark the port (left) side of the channel, and D) yellow buoys are not part of the standard Western Rivers navigation system.
