INLAND ONLY Which lights are required for a single barge being towed alongside?

A Sidelights and a special flashing light
B Sidelights, a towing light, and a stern light
C Sidelights and a stern light
D Sidelights, a special flashing light, and a stern light
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Sidelights, a special flashing light, and a stern light. This is the correct answer because the Inland Navigation Rules require a single barge being towed alongside to display sidelights, a special flashing light, and a stern light. The special flashing light is required to indicate the presence of the barge being towed. The other options are incorrect because they do not include the required special flashing light (A and C) or they include a towing light, which is not required for a single barge being towed alongside (B).
