A
three shapes, the highest and lowest shall be red balls, and the middle shall be a white diamond
B
three shapes; the highest and lowest shall be black balls, and the middle shall be a red diamond
C
two black balls
D
three shapes; the highest and lowest shall be black balls and the middle shall be a black diamond
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) three shapes; the highest and lowest shall be black balls and the middle shall be a black diamond. This is the correct answer because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) state that a vessel picking up a submarine cable during the day shall exhibit three shapes, with the highest and lowest being black balls and the middle being a black diamond. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the COLREGS requirements for the shapes and colors that must be displayed by a vessel picking up a submarine cable during the day.
