Correct Answer: Option A — not under command

Rule 27(a) requires a vessel not under command to exhibit two all-round red lights in a vertical line at the most conspicuous point. This signal informs other mariners that the vessel is unable to maneuver as required by the rules and cannot keep out of the way.
