BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, a barge being towed astern must display which light(s)?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) sidelights and a stern light. According to the Navigation Rules (both International and Inland), a barge being towed astern at night must display sidelights (red and green) and a white stern light. This is required to make the barge visible and indicate its size, direction of travel, and status as a vessel being towed. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the lighting requirements for a barge being towed astern at night.
