BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND For the purpose of the Rules, except where otherwise required, the term __________.

A "vessel engaged in fishing" includes a vessel fishing with trolling lines
B "seaplane" includes non-displacement craft
C "vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver" includes fishing vessels
D "vessel" includes seaplanes
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) "vessel" includes seaplanes. The reason this is the correct answer is that under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, the term "vessel" is defined to include seaplanes on the water. This means that the navigation rules apply equally to seaplanes as they do to other types of vessels. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the definitions in the Rules.
