Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — A power-driven vessel

Rule 23 requires a power-driven vessel underway to display sidelights regardless of whether she is making way. Conversely, vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver, not under command, or fishing only exhibit sidelights and stern lights when actually making way through the water.
