Question 438Rules of the Road90% to pass

INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which lights shall a vessel that is constrained by her draft, display, in a vertical line to indicate her condition?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Three 360° red lights. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel constrained by her draft must display three 360° red lights in a vertical line to indicate her condition. This signals to other vessels that the displaying vessel is restricted in her ability to maneuver due to her draft. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the COLREGS requirement for the proper lights to be displayed by a vessel constrained by her draft.
