Question 705Rules of the Road90% to pass

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which shall a vessel not under command display?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) two red lights at night and two black balls during daylight. This is the correct answer because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) state that a vessel not under command must display two red lights at night and two black balls during the day. This signifies that the vessel is unable to maneuver as required by the rules and other vessels must give way. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the COLREGS requirements for the display of lights and shapes for a vessel not under command.
