Correct Answer: Option D — white
Rule 26(b)(ii) requires that a vessel engaged in trawling, with gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally, must display a white all-round light in the direction of the gear. This light serves as a nighttime warning to prevent other vessels from fouling the extended fishing equipment.
