A
if the bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change
B
whenever two vessels approach from opposite directions
C
if one vessel approaches another so as to be overtaking
D
whenever a vessel crosses ahead of the intended track of another vessel
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) if the bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change. This is the correct answer because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) state that risk of collision shall be deemed to exist if the bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change. This indicates that the two vessels are on a collision course and must take appropriate action to avoid a collision. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the COLREGS regulations regarding the existence of a risk of collision.
