BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which of the following shapes shall a power-driven vessel when towing (length of tow exceeds 200 meters) exhibit during daylight?

Correct Answer: Option D — a diamond shape

Rule 24(a)(ii) requires a power-driven vessel engaged in towing, where the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters, to exhibit a diamond shape where it can best be seen. This shape provides clear daylight identification of a vessel with a long tow, warning other traffic to maintain a safe distance.
