What color is the sidelight on the right side of a boat?

  1. Red

  2. Green

  3. Blue

  4. Yellow

The correct answer is: Green

The side lights on a boat are used to indicate its position and direction to other vessels. The ones on the right side (starboard) are usually colored green while the left side (port) ones are red. This is to follow the international standard regarding navigation lights. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not the designated color for the sidelight on the right side of a boat.
