Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — port engine ahead and the starboard engine astern

In a narrow channel, utilizing split engines—port engine ahead and starboard engine astern—generates a powerful turning couple without building excessive headway or sternway, enabling the most efficient pivoting movement to turn the vessel around to the right.
