Which statement concerning homing signals in the GMDSS is FALSE?

Correct Answer: Option C — A homing signal is detected by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites.

COSPAS-SARSAT satellites detect 406 MHz distress beacon transmissions, whereas homing signals such as 9-GHz SART signals or 121.5 MHz VHF/AM signals are received directly by searching vessels and aircraft, not by the orbiting satellite constellation.
