Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — power-driven vessel

Rule 18(a) outlines the hierarchy of vessel responsibilities. A power-driven vessel is generally required to keep out of the way of a sailing vessel. Therefore, a sailing vessel is not required to keep out of the way of a power-driven vessel, as the latter has the greater maneuverability.
