Diagram for USCG Rules of the Road: BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You see the display of lights shown in illustration...
A dredge working at anchor
B dredge restricted in its ability to maneuver
C 65-meter tug towing astern, length of tow 150 meters
D 55-meter tug towing astern, length of tow exceeds 200 meters
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 65-meter tug towing astern, length of tow 150 meters. This is the correct answer because the display of lights shown in illustration D064RR, which includes two all-round white lights and two all-round red lights, is the required lighting configuration for a vessel 65 meters or more in length engaged in towing astern, where the length of the tow exceeds 150 meters but does not exceed 200 meters. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the lighting configuration described in the illustration. Option A refers to a dredge at anchor, Option B refers to a dredge restricted in its ability to maneuver, and Option D refers to a tug towing astern with a tow length exceeding 200 meters, all of which have different lighting requirements.
