The correct answer is B) a vessel towing astern.

The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a vessel in distress would display different flashing red, white, or orange lights; C) a vessel engaged in fishing would display different masthead, sidelights, and stern lights; and D) a vessel engaged in piloting would not have a specific light configuration to indicate that activity.
