AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel that is required to keep out of the way of another vessel must take early and substantial action to keep well clear of the other vessel. This includes avoiding crossing ahead of the other vessel, as crossing in front of the other vessel could lead to a collision. The other answer choices are incorrect, as they do not directly address the requirement to avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.
