A
Initiate the maneuvering signals
B
Propose the manner of passage
C
Have the right of way
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to the Inland Navigation Rules, when two power-driven vessels are meeting in a narrow channel, the downbound vessel (Vessel "A") has the right-of-way. As the downbound vessel with a following current, Vessel "A" shall initiate the maneuvering signals, propose the manner of passage, and have the right-of-way over the upbound vessel. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully address the responsibilities of the downbound vessel in this scenario.
