B are painted white and must use a white light if lighted
C must conform to the standards of the U.S. Aids to Navigation System
D are not permitted in or along first-class waterways and may be authorized for second- and third-class waterways
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) must conform to the standards of the U.S. Aids to Navigation System. Privately maintained aids to navigation that are included in the Light List must adhere to the standards set forth in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System. This ensures consistency and safety for all waterway users, regardless of whether the aid is maintained by the government or a private entity. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the requirements for privately maintained aids that are included in the Light List.
