Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — None of these day signals are correct.
Rule 25(e) requires a conical shape, apex downwards, for a vessel under sail and power. Since the illustration D016RR does not include this specific shape, none of the provided options are correct. The vessel must display the cone to properly signal its status as a power-driven vessel.
