What does the signal of one prolonged blast plus two short blasts every two minutes indicate?

Underway sailing vessel
Power-driven vessel in restricted visibility
Danger or confusion
Sailing vessel operating in low or restricted visibility

The correct answer is: Sailing vessel operating in low or restricted visibility

Passing the signal of one prolonged blast plus two short blasts every two minutes indicates that a sailing vessel is operating in low or restricted visibility. In contrast, choice A is incorrect because underway sailing vessels do not typically use this signal, and choice B is incorrect because it is used for a power-driven vessel in restricted visibility. Choice C is also incorrect because it implies that the signals are meant to create danger or confusion, which is not the case. Ultimately, the specific signal given indicates a situation where a sailing vessel is navigating through low or restricted visibility conditions.
