AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) under oars. The illustration D080RR shows a single all-round red light, which is the appropriate light configuration for a vessel under oars according to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) not under command would require a different light configuration, C) towing would require additional lights, and D) engaged in fishing would require different light signals to indicate that status.
