The correct answer is: 1. Practice good seamanship 2. Keep a proper lookout 3. Maintain a safe speed

The 3 navigation rules are 1. Practice good seamanship, 2. Keep a proper lookout, and 3. Maintain a safe speed. It is important to remember that these rules are crucial for the safety of all vessels on the water. Option A is incorrect because sounding your horn regularly, always docking at full speed, and giving way to larger vessels are not considered official navigation rules. Option C is incorrect because using GPS at all times, following the leader, and passing on the right always are not official navigation rules and may even lead to confusion and accidents on the water. Option D is incorrect because always anchoring in the middle of the channel, using lights only at night, and not communicating with other vessels are not official navigation rules and may even be dangerous for navigation. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it lists the three official and essential navigation rules that all boaters must follow.
