Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — a flashing blue light

33 CFR 83.34(h) explicitly restricts the use of a flashing blue light to law enforcement vessels. This regulation ensures that the blue light remains a unique, unambiguous identifier for law enforcement, preventing confusion with other public safety or commercial signals used by different types of vessels.
