70% to pass

A vessel crossing a river on the Western Rivers has the right of way over _______________.

A all vessels ascending and descending the river
B vessels ascending the river
C vessels descending the river
D None of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) None of the above. The Western Rivers Navigation Rules do not contain a general rule granting right-of-way to vessels crossing a river over vessels ascending or descending the river. The Navigation Rules on the Western Rivers focus more on navigation in narrow channels and do not include a specific crossing rule like the one described in the question. Therefore, none of the answer choices provided are correct according to the applicable regulations.
