In which situation is it illegal to operate a vessel at more than 'slow, no wake speed'?

  1. When more than 200 feet from shore

  2. Within 100 feet of a marina

  3. Within 100 feet of an anchored vessel, swimmer, or any manually propelled vessel

  4. Only in designated no-wake zones

The correct answer is: Within 100 feet of an anchored vessel, swimmer, or any manually propelled vessel

Driving a vessel at 'slow, no wake speed' becomes illegal when within 100 feet of an anchored vessel, swimmer, or any manually propelled vessel, as it poses a danger to those in the water. The other options may also have restrictions, but they do not specifically pertain to the given situation and are therefore incorrect. Option A is arbitrary and does not have any relation to the given situation. Option B only states a distance from a specific location, but does not mention any danger or restriction associated with it. Option D may seem plausible, but it is too broad and does not specify a particular situation. Thus, the only correct option is C as it reflects the specific condition for when it is illegal to operate a vessel at more than 'slow, no wake speed'.
