Which statement concerning exposure to radiation is TRUE?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Certain INMARSAT systems will automatically transmit when called and can expose an individual to harmful radiation.

Directional high-gain antennas found on certain Inmarsat systems can automatically track and transmit RF energy. Personnel must avoid standing directly in the beam path during active transmission to prevent hazardous electromagnetic radiation exposure exceeding regulatory safety thresholds.
