What must every operator do according to the navigation rules?

Keep the music volume low
Keep a proper lookout
Maintain a constant speed
Signal all turns with a flag

The correct answer is: Keep a proper lookout

The navigation rules, also known as the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, require all vessels to keep a proper lookout at all times. This means continuously monitoring the surroundings for other vessels, potential hazards, and changing conditions. While keeping the music volume low and maintaining a constant speed are also important factors in safe navigation, they are not specifically mentioned in the navigation rules. Signaling turns with a flag is a practice typically used by small boats, but it is not a requirement for all operators according to the navigation rules. Because keeping a proper lookout is essential for avoiding collisions and ensuring safe navigation, it is the correct answer to this question.
