What is the international emergency sign for distress?

  1. Three repeats of any signal

  2. Two red flares

  3. One long blast on a whistle

  4. A single SOS in Morse code

The correct answer is: Three repeats of any signal

The international emergency sign for distress is indicated by repeating any signal three times. This can be done through radio communication (such as saying "Mayday" three times), using a whistle or a horn, or flashing any lights in a pattern of three. Option B is incorrect because two red flares are used to signal an urgent distress message, while three are used for a severe distress message. Option C is incorrect because one long blast on a whistle is a signal for medical assistance, not distress. Option D is incorrect because while SOS is a recognized distress signal in Morse code, it is not the international emergency sign.
