What does raising and lowering outstretched arms repeatedly signal?

  1. A greeting to other boats

  2. A distress signal

  3. A request for directions

  4. An exercise routine

The correct answer is: A distress signal

Raising and lowering outstretched arms repeatedly is a known universal distress signal that indicates the person or group is in urgent need of assistance. The other options, while they may involve raising and lowering arms, do not hold the same meaning or urgency as a distress signal. A greeting to other boats or a request for directions would typically involve a wave or pointing in a specific direction rather than repetitive arm movements. An exercise routine would also involve specific and deliberate movements, rather than just raising and lowering arms repeatedly.
