Why C is correct
33 CFR §164.35(o) requires a telephone or other means of communication for relaying headings to the emergency steering station for all vessels, and additionally requires that vessels of 500 gross tons and over constructed on or after June 9, 1995 be provided with arrangements for supplying visual compass-readings to the emergency steering station. A gyrocompass repeater, rudder angle indicator, or radar repeater at that station are not the specific additional requirement stated.
