B Two white masthead lights, red-white-red all round lights, sidelights, stern light and a towing light
C Three white masthead lights, two all round red lights, sidelights, stern light and a towing light
D None of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) None of the above. The tug shown in illustration D024RR is described as being greater than 50 meters and severely restricted in its ability to deviate from its course. Under both the International and Inland Navigation Rules, a towing vessel of this size and maneuverability would be required to display a different set of navigation lights than the options provided. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the specific lighting requirements for a towing vessel of this size and restriction. The correct lighting configuration would need to be determined by referencing the applicable navigation rules and regulations.
