Correct Answer: Option A — a vessel towing

Rule 24(g) requires a diamond shape to be displayed by a vessel or object being towed when the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters. The towing vessel itself does not display this shape; rather, it is displayed by the object being towed to indicate the tow's length.
