B a sailboat
C a fishing vessel at anchor
D a vessel being towed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) a power-driven vessel of less than 50 meters in length. The lights shown in illustration D058RR represent the navigation lights required for a power-driven vessel less than 50 meters in length, as per the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules. These lights include a masthead light, sidelights, and a stern light, which is the standard configuration for this type of vessel in both international and inland waters. The other options are incorrect because the lighting configuration does not match the requirements for a sailboat, a fishing vessel at anchor, or a vessel being towed.
