Which option best reflects the IMO Display standards for radar performance?

IMO radar display standards require a combination of readability, target presentation, and daylight visibility. The short-range and long-range scales—such as 3 or 4 miles for close-in work and 12 or 16 miles for longer distances—ensure the operator can accurately gauge proximity and closing rates across different situations. Information on acquired targets should appear in vector or graphic form, so you can plot tracks and understand relationships between targets. In daylight, the display must remain legible to two or more observers, supporting redundancy and reliable interpretation in bright conditions. When these elements are all in place, the display meets the IMO standards, which is why all of the above is the correct reflection.
