C
brake with holding power appropriate for the vessel's horsepower or bollard pull

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) source of emergency power to operate the winch. A towing winch that handles a wire towline must have a device that evenly spools and tightly winds the towline (A), a brake with holding power appropriate for the vessel's horsepower or bollard pull (C), and a brake that can be operated when there is no power available to drive the winch (D). However, a source of emergency power to operate the winch is not a requirement for a towing winch. The winch can function without a dedicated emergency power source as long as it has the other necessary components.
