Correct Answer: Option B — one white light

Rule 26(c)(ii) requires a vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling, to display an all-round white light in the direction of any gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally. This light provides necessary warning to other vessels navigating in the vicinity of the deployed fishing equipment at night.
