Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: A series of 12 equally spaced blips outward from the SART's position along its line of bearing.
When a SART is within range, it responds to the ship's X-band radar pulses by displaying a series of 12 dots spaced 0.6 nautical miles apart along the line of bearing from the radar.
