A
yellow
B

C
green
D
white
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) white. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel engaged in fishing and having a net or other fishing gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally from the vessel must display a white light in the direction of the gear. This requirement applies to both international and inland waters. The other answer choices are incorrect because yellow, red, and green are not the prescribed color for this navigational light. The white light helps make the fishing gear more visible to other vessels and aids in collision avoidance.
