Accepted Answer

Option C: reduce your speed to bare steerageway. Rule 19(e) mandates that every vessel which hears the fog signal of another vessel apparently forward of her beam, or which cannot avoid a close-quarters situation with a vessel forward of her beam, shall reduce her speed to the minimum at which she can be kept on her course.
