Final answer:

The question pertains to aviation ground light signals:

  • Steady Green means 'Cleared for takeoff',
  • Flashing Red stands for 'Stop',
  • Steady Red also means 'Stop' (and give way),
  • Flashing Green means 'Cleared to taxi'.

Therefore, the correct answer is: option b) 1-Cleared for takeoff, 2-Taxi, 3-Stop, 4-Cleared to taxi.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about the meaning of ground light signals in aviation, specifically what the various colors and their steady or flashing states indicate.

Light gun signals emit a bright light visible from great distances, allowing a controller to issue instructions or warnings to a pilot.

The correct interpretations for the signals provided are as follows:

1) Steady Green, meaning 'Cleared for takeoff';

2) Flashing Red, signaling 'Stop';

3) Steady Red, signalling 'Stop' and to give way to other aircraft;

4) Flashing Green, which indicates 'Cleared to taxi'.

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 1-Cleared for takeoff, 2-Taxi, 3-Stop, 4-Cleared to taxi, although the second signal is a bit unclear, 'Flashing Red' generally means an aircraft on the ground should stop.
