Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — White

White and orange buoys are classified as special purpose or information/regulatory aids. Per the U.S. Aids to Navigation System, if these buoys are equipped with a light, they must display a white light to ensure visibility and consistency with the regulatory marking scheme used in U.S. waters.
