Question 475Navigation General

The correct answer is B) A safe water beacon. The symbol shown in illustration D033NG represents a safe water beacon, which is a buoy or other marker that indicates an area of safe passage for vessels. Safe water beacons are typically green and white in color, and may have a variety of light characteristics, such as a flashing white light. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the symbol shown. A red and white can buoy (A) is a different type of navigational aid, a can buoy with a rotating white light (C) is not the correct description, and a sunken vessel marked by a buoy (D) is not what the symbol represents.
