Question 722 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is A) anchored. The illustration D082RR depicts the lights required for a vessel that is anchored, as specified in the International and Inland Navigation Rules. An anchored vessel must display an all-round white light at or near the top of the vessel's forward structure. This is the configuration shown in the illustration, indicating that the vessel is anchored. The other answer choices are incorrect because the lighting pattern does not match the requirements for fishing vessels, sailing vessels, or pilot boats, which have different light configurations as per the navigation rules.
