Rule 30(a) All vessels shall exhibit a white light forward and aft. VSLs less than 50 have the option of one white light as you mentioned. This question is a little tricky in that the minimum length is effectively zero. You have to recognize that, and pick the shortest length. It doesn't ask what "may" be shown.

So 49M would be a single all around masthead light I'm assuming (rounding to the nearest meter)
