What color is the dye marker intended for use in a distress situation?

Red
Orange
Blue
Green

The correct answer is: Orange

A is incorrect because red is usually associated with danger or caution, not distress. C is incorrect because blue is usually associated with calm or tranquility, not distress. D is incorrect because green is usually associated with safety or emergency exits, not distress. B is the correct answer because orange is internationally recognized as the color for distress markers, specifically for signaling for help in emergency situations. It is used because it is highly visible and stands out against most backgrounds, making it easier for rescuers to locate.
