A
A power-driven vessel
B
A vessel engaged on pilotage duty
C
A vessel engaged in fishing
D
A vessel engaged in survey operations
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A vessel engaged in fishing. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, a vessel engaged in fishing is not required to show anchor lights when at anchor. The regulations stipulate that power-driven vessels, vessels engaged on pilotage duty, and vessels engaged in survey operations must all display anchor lights when at anchor. However, fishing vessels are exempt from this requirement, as their fishing activities take precedence over the need for anchor lights.
