Which statement is false regarding a Distress request?

Correct Answer: Option A — Any Distress request is automatically switched to an Inmarsat Distress working frequency.

Inmarsat Distress alerts are processed via data packets, not by switching to a specific analog working frequency. The system uses dedicated signaling channels to prioritize Distress traffic. The Land Earth Station (LES) and Network Coordination Station (NCS) ensure these packets are prioritized and routed to a Maritime Rescue Coordination Center.
