Question

question 3 of 10 which of the following actions is required of boat b while being overtaken by boat a in darkness or reduced visibility? a turn to either side to give way b maintain course and speed c use a visual distress signal d stop your vessel previous next

Explanation:

According to maritime navigation rules, when a vessel (Boat B) is being overtaken by another vessel (Boat A) in darkness or reduced visibility, the overtaken vessel (Boat B) must maintain its course and speed. This helps the overtaking vessel (Boat A) to safely complete the overtaking maneuver. Turning (Option A) would create uncertainty for the overtaking vessel. Using a visual distress signal (Option C) is for emergency situations where help is needed, not for normal overtaking. Stopping the vessel (Option D) can also cause confusion and potential danger as the overtaking vessel has to adjust to a suddenly - stopped vessel.

Answer:

B. Maintain course and speed
