AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) they are passing within half a mile of each other.
The Inland Navigation Rules, which govern the operation of vessels on U.S. inland waterways, require that power-driven vessels in sight of one another shall exchange whistle signals when passing within half a mile of each other. This is to ensure clear communication between the vessels and promote safe passage.
