Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: Seven or more short blasts followed by one prolonged blast on the ship's whistle/horn.
The General Emergency Alarm (GEA) is standardized to prevent confusion during crises. It consists of at least seven or more short blasts followed by one prolonged blast on the ship’s whistle/siren and the same signal on the alarm bells, as required by the LSA Code.
