AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) It is not required. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a towing light is not required when the power-driven vessel is towing alongside. The COLREGS only require a towing light when the vessel is towing astern. The other options are incorrect because: A) a towing light is not required to be white in color, C) the towing light is not required to be shown at the bow, and D) the towing light is not required to be an all-round light when towing alongside.
