Rules of the Road Question 746 diagram
A power-driven vessel underway
B pilot vessel on pilotage duty
C vessel engaged in launching or recovering aircraft
D vessel engaged in fishing at anchor
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) power-driven vessel underway. This is because the lighting configuration shown in illustration D045RR corresponds to the navigation lights required for a power-driven vessel underway, as per the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules. The other options are incorrect because the lighting shown does not match the requirements for a pilot vessel, a vessel engaged in launching/recovering aircraft, or a vessel engaged in fishing at anchor, which have different navigation light configurations.
