What is required for vessels less than 20m in length for sound-signalling?

A flag signal kit
A sound-signalling device (whistle) or air horn
A VHF radio
A visual distress signal

The correct answer is: A sound-signalling device (whistle) or air horn

Vessels less than 20m in length are not required to carry a VHF radio or a visual distress signal, as these are optional equipment for them. However, they are required to carry a sound-signalling device (whistle) or an air horn for sound-signalling purposes. The flag signal kit mentioned in option A is only required for vessels over 20m in length. Therefore, option B is the correct answer for this question.
