B

C
Slow down and pass between the two sets of double red lights.
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Slow down and pass between the two sets of double red lights. This is the correct action because the illustration depicts the lights for a "Restricted Channel" according to the United States Coast Guard's Navigation Rules. The two sets of double red lights indicate that the channel is restricted, meaning vessels must proceed with caution and at a slow, safe speed when passing between the red lights. Proceeding at full speed (option A) or stopping and waiting (option B) would be improper and unsafe actions in a restricted channel situation.
