The answer should not be C). Rule 35(g), A vessel at anchor shall at intervals of not more than one minute ring the bell rapidly for about 5 seconds. In a vessel of 100 meters or more in length the bell shall be sounded in the forepart of the vessel and immediately after the ringing of the bell the gong shall be sounded rapidly fora bout 5 seconds in the after part of the vessel."

NEXT

Rule 35(d) A vessel engaged in fishing, when at anchor, and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver when carrying out her work at anchor, shall instead of the signals prescribed in paragraph (g) of this rule sound the signal prescribed in paragraph (c) of this rule"

Which is one prolonged, short, short.
