Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — B

Rule 24(g) requires an inconspicuous, partially submerged vessel or object being towed to display a diamond shape at the forward end if the tow exceeds 200 meters. This ensures visibility for other vessels, as the object itself may be difficult to detect against the sea surface.
