B a vessel broken down
C a fishing vessel
D a vessel at anchor
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) a vessel towing. The shape shown in illustration D010RR is the shape that a vessel engaged in towing must display, as per the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules. This shape, consisting of two black shapes placed vertically, indicates that the vessel is towing another vessel astern or alongside. The other answer choices do not match this specific shape requirement for towing vessels.
