What do code flags N over C indicate?

  1. Party onboard

  2. All is well

  3. Require assistance

  4. Distress

The correct answer is: Distress

Code flags N over C indicate distress. While option A, B, and C may require assistance, D is the only response that specifically refers to a state of emergency. This signal is typically used to request help from other vessels or authorities when a ship is in danger or facing a critical situation. Therefore, option D is the most suitable answer.
