Correct Answer: Option B — the vessel is fishing by trawling

Rule 26(b) specifies that a vessel engaged in trawling, which is the dragging of a dredge net or other apparatus through the water, must display a green light over a white light. This configuration identifies the vessel as actively engaged in trawling, regardless of whether it is making way.
