C is incorrect because a distance is not specified in the Rules
D is incorrect because risk of collision can exist even if the bearing changes. Rule 7(ii)
That leaves "A" and you can reference Rule 7(b)
"Proper use shall be made of radar equipment if fitted and operational, including long-range scanning to obtain early warning of risk of collision..."
