Discussing this exam question.
Can anyone explain this one?
This question is absurd, when you phrase lighting schemes be less vague.
Rule 26 on Trawling (below): No red light, answer (A and C) are not possible and therefore (D) is not possible either. The only answer left is (C)... which is possible for a >50m vessel ligned up rom the bow to see the aft masthead light above green and white... but this would give a W G W light NOT two W vertical... The answers are wrong.
Rule 26;
(b) A vessel when engaged in trawling, by which is meant the dragging through the water of a dredge net or other apparatus used as a fishing appliance, shall exhibit: Vessels Engaged in Trawling
(i) two all-round lights in a vertical line, the upper being green and the lower white, or a shape consisting of two cones with their apexes together in a vertical line one above the other;
(ii) a masthead light abaft of and higher than the all-round green light; a vessel of less than 50 meters in length shall not be obliged to exhibit such a light but may do so;
(iii) when making way through the water, in addition to the lights prescribed in this paragraph, sidelights and a sternlight.

white over red pilot ahead
"white over red pilot ahead" The lights mentioned in this question are described in Annex II as stated by others. They are IN ADDITION to the green-over-white trawling lights, so won't be confused with a vessel engaged in pilot duty.
