AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 40-meter tug with tow exceeding 200 meters. The display of lights shown in illustration D064RR indicates a towing vessel over 20 meters in length with a tow exceeding 200 meters. Per the International and Inland Navigation Rules, this configuration of lights is required for a 40-meter tug with a tow longer than 200 meters. The other options do not match this specific lighting configuration.
