BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel would sound a fog signal consisting of the ringing of a bell for 5 seconds?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) A sailing vessel, at anchor. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a sailing vessel at anchor is required to sound a fog signal consisting of the ringing of a bell for 5 seconds. This is specified in Rule 35(c) of the COLREGS. The other options are incorrect because: A) A vessel engaged in fishing is not required to sound this particular fog signal, C) A vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver is required to sound a different fog signal, and D) not all of the listed vessels are required to sound the 5-second bell fog signal.
