INTERNATIONAL ONLY Additional light signals are provided in the Annexes to the Rules for which of the following vessels?

A Under sail
B Engaged in towing
C Engaged in fishing

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Engaged in fishing. The Annexes to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) provide additional light signals for vessels engaged in fishing. These additional lights help to identify fishing vessels and their activities to other vessels at sea. The other options (A, B, and D) do not have these specific additional light signal requirements in the COLREGS Annexes.
