AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) reduce speed only where local speed limits are posted. The owner or Master of a towing vessel must ensure that the person directing and controlling the vessel's movement can perform all the listed tasks, except for reducing speed only where local speed limits are posted. This is because the operator should reduce speed as necessary to maintain safe operations, not just in areas with posted speed limits. The other options (A, C, and D) are all important tasks the operator must be able to accomplish.
