What is the danger of attempting to pass between a tug and its tow?

Disrupting radio signals
Running out of fuel
Hitting a hidden tow line and possibly capsizing
None, it's perfectly safe

The correct answer is: Hitting a hidden tow line and possibly capsizing

Passing between a tug and its tow can be extremely dangerous because there is a risk of hitting a hidden tow line which could lead to the boat capsizing. It is important to give tugs and their tow plenty of space and to avoid attempting to pass between them to ensure the safety of all vessels involved. Options A and B are incorrect because they are not directly related to the tug and its tow, and option D is incorrect because it disregards the potential danger of passing between the two vessels.
