Correct Answer: Option B — fishing vessel

Rule 26(c) requires a vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling, to display two all-round lights in a vertical line, the upper being red and the lower white. This specific light configuration distinguishes fishing vessels from other types of vessels and indicates their operational status to nearby traffic.
