What does a white buoy with an orange diamond and a cross through it indicate?

  1. Exclusion (do not enter)

  2. Approach with caution

  3. Fishing allowed

  4. Restricted area for swimming

The correct answer is: Exclusion (do not enter)

A white buoy with an orange diamond and a cross through it serves as a clear signal of exclusion, indicating an area where entry is not allowed. This type of marking typically warns boaters to stay away from specific zones for safety reasons or to protect wildlife and habitats. The orange diamond signifies a warning, while the cross clearly denotes that entry is prohibited. Understanding this buoy's meaning is essential for ensuring both personal safety and compliance with boating regulations, as well as preserving the integrity of certain areas. The other options represent different situations or regulations related to buoy signals, but they do not apply to this specific marking.
