What statement is true regarding tests and maintenance that could be provided for the SART?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — All of these

Because SART signals mimic distress, testing must be carefully managed to avoid interfering with navigation or causing false alerts. Verifying performance specifications requires specialized 9 GHz test equipment to ensure compliance with IMO standards.
