D
two balls in a vertical line
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) a diamond shape where it can best be seen. This is the correct answer because under both the International and Inland Navigation Rules, a vessel being towed astern where the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters must exhibit a diamond shape where it can best be seen. This serves to indicate the condition and length of the tow to other vessels in the area. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the specific requirement for a diamond shape as per the navigation rules.
