Engines should never be stopped.

The question doesn't give stopping the engines as an option.

engines should never be turned off, the question is concerned with the movement of the vessel. slowing, stopping or reversing is not stopping the engines

stopped just means no-propulsion is being used...think of this like shifting to neutral
