What should be done with navigation lights during conditions of restricted visibility in a storm?

Keep them turned off to save power
Turn them on for better visibility
Use them intermittently
Only use them if other boats are nearby

The correct answer is: Turn them on for better visibility

During conditions of restricted visibility in a storm, navigation lights should be turned on for better visibility. Keeping them off (option A) can increase the risk of collisions as other boats may not be able to see you. Using them intermittently (option C) can also be dangerous as it may not provide a consistent signal to other boats. And only using them when other boats are nearby (option D) is not sufficient as you may encounter unexpected hazards or other boats may not see you in time to avoid a collision. Overall, turning on your navigation lights during a storm is the safest option to ensure your visibility to other boats.
