AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A vessel is in distress. The continuous sounding of a fog whistle by a vessel indicates that the vessel is in distress. This is in accordance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which specify that a vessel in distress must make the continuous sounding of a fog signal to alert other vessels in the area. The other answer choices, such as a request to open a bridge draw span or the vessel being anchored, do not require the continuous sounding of a fog whistle, making them incorrect.
