Permanent navigation aids positioned the same as a buoy are which type of beacons?

Explanation:
Beacons come in two main daylight vs night signaling forms. If a permanent navigation aid is fixed in place and serves as a daytime mark rather than a lighted signal, it is a day beacon. The fixed, non-illuminated mark provides guidance during daylight, whereas a night beacon would have a light or flash for nighttime visibility. The other terms listed aren’t standard categories for this situation.
