INLAND ONLY You are overtaking another power-driven vessel in a narrow channel and wish to leave her on your starboard side. You may.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) attempt to contact her on the radiotelephone to arrange for the passage.
In a narrow channel, the proper procedure when overtaking another power-driven vessel is to contact the other vessel by radiotelephone to coordinate and agree on the overtaking maneuver. This allows both vessels to communicate and ensure a safe passing. Sounding whistle signals (options A and C) is not the appropriate action in this situation, as the focus should be on direct communication. Attempting to overtake without any communication (option B) would be unsafe in a narrow channel.
