AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The term "Western Rivers" in the context of regulations requiring towing vessels to carry navigational-safety equipment, charts or maps, and publications, includes the Mississippi River and its tributaries, the Red River and the Old River, as well as the Port Allen - Morgan City Alternate Route. These waterways are all considered part of the Western Rivers system, which is subject to the specific requirements for navigational safety equipment and resources.
