A
Storm Warnings
B
GPS Information
C
Time Announcements
D
NAVAREA Warnings
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) NAVAREA Warnings. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides time announcements, GPS information, and weather forecasts/warnings, but it does not provide NAVAREA warnings. NAVAREA warnings are navigational warnings issued by the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) and are not part of the information broadcast by NIST. The other options (A, B, and C) are types of information that are provided in NIST broadcasts, which is why they are incorrect answers.
