Starboard-hand day beacons may be numbered using:

Odd numbers
Even numbers
Alphabetical characters
No numbering system

The correct answer is: Even numbers

Starboard-hand day beacons are used in harbors and inland waterways to provide guidance to marine vessels on the starboard (right) side of the waterway. These beacons are typically numbered using even numbers, as they are used to mark the right side of the pathway. Odd numbers are typically used for port-hand beacons on the left side. Alphabetical characters may be used for special purpose beacons, but not for general starboard-hand beacons. Day beacons should always have some form of numbering system to clearly indicate their location and purpose, so D is an incorrect option.
