Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: D) Give a bright red during the inter emission time.
Buoyant smoke signals are designed to emit dense orange smoke for at least 3 minutes. While they must be robust, they are not designed to emit red light, as red is reserved for distress flares meant to be seen at night.
