This rule is only referencing International waters. When that is the case, a partially submerged object must show a diamond shape at all times; when the length of tow exceeds 200 meters, a second dayshape is added, for a total of two diamonds. The answer is indeed D.

Rule 24(g)(iv) states: "...if the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters an additional diamond shape where it can best be seen..."

Answer should be B, not D.

tricky question: Rule 24(g)(iv) requires diamond shape at the end, PLUS another diamond forward if greater than 200m tow. Emily rocks!
