What must be plainly visible at different distances?

The boat's name
The navigation lights
The captain
The number of people on board

The correct answer is: The navigation lights

At different distances, it is important for other boaters and authorities to be able to clearly see and identify a boat. The boat's name (option A) may not always be visible, as it may be covered or not easily read from far away. The captain (option C) may also not always be visible, especially if there are multiple people on board. The number of people on board (option D) is not as important for visibility purposes as it is for safety and capacity reasons. Therefore, the most important item that must be plainly visible at different distances is the boat's navigation lights (option B). These lights help other boaters determine the size, direction, and status of the boat, making it essential for safe boating practices.
