Question 753 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is B) power-driven vessel. The lights shown in illustration D059RR represent the navigation lights required for a power-driven vessel under both the International and Inland Rules of the Road. Power-driven vessels must display a masthead light forward, sidelights, and a stern light. This lighting configuration allows other vessels to identify the type and direction of travel of the power-driven vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) trawling vessels have additional lights to indicate they are engaged in fishing, C) sailing vessels have different sidelight configurations, and D) mineclearance vessels do not have this standard power-driven vessel lighting arrangement.
