What type of light(s) should a fishing vessel underway display?

Sidelights only
An all-round red light above an all-round white light
Normal lights for power-driven vessels and a special configuration
Sternlight only

The correct answer is: Normal lights for power-driven vessels and a special configuration

The appropriate options are C, since a fishing vessel underway should display normal lights for power-driven vessels and a special configuration. Option A, sidelights only, would not be sufficient since it does not adequately show the vessel's length and could be confused with other small vessels. Option B, an all-round red light above an all-round white light, is incorrect because this is the required lighting for a vessel aground, not a fishing vessel underway. Option D, sternlight only, is also incorrect because it does not sufficiently show the vessel's length and could also be confused with other small vessels. Therefore, the best option is C, normal lights for power-driven vessels and a special configuration.
