A which are green and show all-round
B which mean that other vessels should not approach within 1000 meters of the mineclearing vessel
C in addition to the lights required for a power-driven vessel
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. A vessel engaged in mineclearing operations must display special identity lights in addition to the lights required for a power-driven vessel, per the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). These special lights are green and show all-round, indicating the vessel's status as a mineclearing vessel. Additionally, other vessels are required to not approach within 1000 meters of the mineclearing vessel for safety reasons. Therefore, all the answer choices correctly describe the lighting and identification requirements for a vessel engaged in mineclearing operations.
