Question 1006 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is A) She is not required to sound any fog signal. According to the International and Inland Navigation Rules, when a tug is towing one or more barges astern, the tug itself is required to sound the appropriate fog signal. However, the barges being towed are not required to sound any fog signals. The responsibility for the fog signal rests with the towing vessel, not the vessels being towed. The other answer choices are incorrect because they would require the second vessel of the tow (the barge) to sound a fog signal, which is not the case under the navigation rules.
