AI Explanation

The correct answer is B. In illustration D023RR, item B shows the arc of visibility of a green sidelight. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), the arc of visibility for a green sidelight is from dead ahead to 112.5 degrees abaft the beam on the starboard side of the vessel. The other options are incorrect because: A shows the arc of visibility for a white masthead light, C shows the arc of visibility for a red sidelight, and D shows the arc of visibility for a white stern light.
