I can agree with Walker2016 but, the Rules do state that a pilot vessel SHALL sound the same as a power driven vessel in fog but MAY IDENTIFY themselves as a pilot. So, as I read into answer (D) the identity signal of 4 short is not considered the fog signal rather, the Prolonged blasts preceeding it is. Very tricky, I did have to think on this hard.

So, who else sounds a fog signal of four short?
