During what conditions must a boat operator ensure that their vessel is equipped with the proper navigation lights?

  1. Only after sunset

  2. Only during fog

  3. Between sunset and sunrise, and during reduced visibility

  4. At all times

The correct answer is: Between sunset and sunrise, and during reduced visibility

A boat operator must ensure that their vessel is equipped with the proper navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and during reduced visibility, such as during fog or heavy rain. Option A is incorrect because it only mentions after sunset, but does not include times of reduced visibility. Option B is also incorrect because it only includes during fog, but does not include times of reduced visibility during daytime. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that navigation lights are only needed at certain times, when in fact they are required at all times. The correct answer, C, includes both sunset and sunrise as well as times of reduced visibility, providing the most accurate and complete answer.
