Seeing red, green, and white lights on another vessel means you...

  1. Can overtake

  2. Must give way

  3. Are standing on

  4. May proceed with caution

The correct answer is: Must give way

It is incorrect to say A because overtaking can only be done when seeing two white lights at the bow of the vessel. It is incorrect to say C because standing on refers to a stationary vessel. It is incorrect to say D because caution should be exercised when encountering any other vessel, not just those with certain colored lights. The colors of red, green, and white specifically indicate that the other vessel is engaged in navigation and thus must be given the right of way. This means that option B, giving way to the vessel, is the correct response.
