Diagram for USCG Navigation General: Which item in illustration D034NG below shows a fixed and flashing light?
A A
B B
C C
D D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. Option A shows a fixed and flashing light, which is a common navigation light configuration for vessels. According to navigation regulations, this type of light combination is used to indicate the presence of a fixed structure, such as a pier or a jetty, with a flashing light superimposed on the fixed light to enhance visibility. The other options do not depict a fixed and flashing light, and therefore, they are not the correct answer.
