A A
B B
C C
D D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. The display of lights shown in illustration D072RR for a 65-meter tug towing a barge astern, with a length of tow of 120 meters, indicates the configuration for a power-driven vessel towing another vessel astern. This is in accordance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules. The other options do not accurately represent the lighting configuration for this scenario. For example, option A would be for a vessel not engaged in towing, while options B and D would be for different towing configurations or vessel sizes.
