Correct Answer: Option B — submarine cable laying

Rule 27(b) requires a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver to display a ball, diamond, and ball in a vertical line. This signal is used by vessels engaged in operations like submarine cable laying, which significantly limit the vessel's ability to deviate from her course to avoid collision.
