INLAND ONLY Which of the following is true regarding a "special flashing light"?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. The regulations for special flashing lights on inland vessels state that the light must be yellow in color, must not show through an arc of more than 225°, and must be placed as far forward as possible. This is specified in the Inland Navigation Rules, Rule 23(c), which covers the lighting requirements for vessels underway. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully capture all the requirements for a special flashing light on inland vessels. A, B, and C each describe one of the requirements, but the correct answer is D, which encompasses all three.
