Under what condition may operators tie to a buoy, according to the Criminal Code of Canada?

  1. Any signal or navigation buoy if no dock is available

  2. Mooring buoys only

  3. Any buoy if the boat is less than 20 feet in length

  4. Any buoy in case of emergency only

The correct answer is: Mooring buoys only

Mooring buoys are the only acceptable option for tying to a buoy according to the Criminal Code of Canada. Option A is incorrect because it says "any" signal or navigation buoy, which is not specified in the law. Option C is incorrect because the boat length should not determine which buoy can be tied to. Option D is incorrect because emergency situations are not the only acceptable circumstance for tying to a buoy.
