Which of the following statements correctly identifies the signal flags Alfa and Bravo?

• A. Alfa is white and blue; Bravo is red
• B. Alfa is red; Bravo is white and blue
• C. Both Alfa and Bravo are red
• D. Both Alfa and Bravo are white and blue

Answer: (A)

Understanding maritime signal flags starts with recognizing their fixed color patterns. Alfa is the white-and-blue flag, arranged in its distinctive white and blue design, and Bravo is the solid red flag. So the statement that Alfa is white and blue and Bravo is red matches the established color schemes of these flags. The other options mix up those color patterns, which is why they’re not correct.
