Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — C
Rule 24(a) requires a power-driven vessel towing to display two masthead lights in a vertical line. If the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters, a third masthead light is required. For a 120-meter tow, two masthead lights are sufficient for the towing vessel.
