B2 short blasts of the whistle.
C3 short blasts of the whistle.
DContinuous blast of the whistle for not less than 3 seconds.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 1 short blast of the whistle. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), the whistle signal for lowering boats is 1 short blast. This signal is used to indicate that the vessel is taking action to lower a boat. The 1 short blast alerts other vessels in the area that the action of lowering a boat is about to occur, allowing them to take appropriate measures to avoid a collision. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the COLREGS requirement for the specific whistle signal used to indicate the lowering of a boat.
