What principle should be followed when passing a marker displaying a yellow square on the Intracoastal Waterway?

Keep it on the starboard side
Keep it directly behind
Pass by keeping it on the port side
Avoid the marker completely

The correct answer is: Pass by keeping it on the port side

When passing a marker displaying a yellow square on the Intracoastal Waterway, the principle of keeping it on the port side should be followed. This is because a yellow square indicates a mid-channel marker, which means it should be kept to the left or port side of your vessel as you pass it. Option A and B are incorrect as they suggest keeping the marker on the starboard or directly behind, respectively. Option D of avoiding the marker completely is also incorrect as it is important to follow markers and aids to navigation for safe navigation of the waterway.
