Correct Answer: Option D — fishing vessel with outlying gear more than 150 meters

Rule 26(c) and Annex II require a vessel engaged in fishing with gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally from the vessel to show a white light in the direction of the outlying gear. This visual signal warns other vessels of the submerged or surface-level hazard posed by the fishing equipment.
