Which cockpit signal is directly associated with smoke detection?

Explanation:
Smoke detection in the cockpit is signaled with an amber caution indication. This alert level is used because smoke or a potential fire is serious and requires prompt attention, but it’s not treated as an immediate, high‑severity emergency like a master warning. The caution lights guide you to run through the appropriate procedures, identify the source, and take corrective steps. A master warning would be reserved for more urgent, high‑risk events that demand immediate action (and typically triggers a loud horn). The other options either indicate more severe conditions or are not specifically tied to smoke detection.
