• B. Water lines or service pipes
• C. Telecommunication lines conduit
• D. Gas lines

Answer: (A)

Red marks are used to show underground electric power lines, cables, or conduit. This color-coding system helps workers know where electrical infrastructure lies so they can avoid digging there or take proper safety precautions. It’s part of a nationwide standard for marking buried utilities (APWA color codes). For context, blue marks indicate water, green marks sewer, yellow marks gas/oil/steam, and orange marks telecom or communications lines, which helps distinguish different types of buried services at a job site.
