Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: Locating signals are transmitted by survival craft VHF transceivers.
Survival craft VHF transceivers are communication devices, not 'locating signals' within the context of GMDSS. Locating signals, such as SARTs or AIS-SART, are specifically designed to be detected by radar or AIS for target identification.
