💭 Think About

• Think about which color is internationally recognized as a danger or emergency color, not just at sea but in many other contexts (roads, aviation, alarms). • Ask yourself: which flare color is typically used for routine signaling or illumination, and which is reserved to say, "I need help now"? • Consider life rafts and survival craft equipment: what color are the distress flares normally packed inside by regulation and manufacturers?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which color is specified as a distress signal in the International Regulations and SOLAS, not just commonly used. • Eliminate any color you know is often used for safe passage, clearance, or normal navigation rather than emergency. • Make sure the option you choose matches the color most associated with danger/stop/emergency in global safety standards.
