📢 Q. EPIRB signal to be received by

The correct answer is A, 'MRCC' (Maritime Rescue Coordination Center). An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) transmits a distress signal that is typically received by the MRCC, which is specifically tasked with coordinating search and rescue operations at sea. The MRCC plays a crucial role in responding to maritime distress alerts, ensuring prompt and organized rescue efforts.

Once an EPIRB is activated, its signal is relayed via satellites or local stations to the MRCC, which then coordinates the response. The MRCC ensures that rescue teams are dispatched to the location to assist those in distress.

• MRCCs are dedicated to managing maritime distress incidents.
• They receive signals from EPIRBs and other distress devices.
• The MRCC coordinates the response with rescue ships, aircraft, and personnel.
• The MRCC is part of the global network of maritime safety organizations.
• EPIRBs are essential for efficient and timely responses to emergencies at sea.
