What must be the condition of pyrotechnic distress signals (flares) according to Transport Canada?

New
Serviceable condition and not expired
Used but visible
Any condition as long as visible

The correct answer is: Serviceable condition and not expired

Flares must be in serviceable condition and not expired according to Transport Canada. This means that the flares must be in good working condition and not past their expiry date, as expired flares will not be reliable in a distress situation. Option A is incorrect because while new flares may be in serviceable condition, they could still potentially be expired. Option C is incorrect because used flares may not be reliable and could have a decreased visibility. Option D is also incorrect because while the flares must be visible, they must also be in serviceable condition and not expired.
