A A
B B
C C
D None of these day signals are correct.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), when a vessel is engaged in trawling, it must display the shape of a "cone apex downwards" (option C) during the day. This shape indicates that the vessel is restricted in its ability to maneuver and that other vessels should keep clear. The other options, A and B, represent different shapes that do not accurately depict a vessel engaged in trawling operations.
