Correct Answer: Option C — A pushing vessel and a vessel being pushed when connected in a composite unit

Rule 24(b) states that a pushing vessel and a vessel being pushed in a composite unit are considered a single power-driven vessel and must exhibit standard lights. They do not meet the definition of a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver under Rule 3(g).
