how is the fishing vessel supposed to know the sailing vessel's draft? does it assume most sails have a deep draught?

answer D: how is the fishing vessel "directed" not to impede the passage of the sailing vessel? The question is using "directed" quite liberally. Would like to understand why I am reading into this question.
Answer A: A fishing vessel? I am wondering if this fishing vessel has lines that would cause a captain to stay away from this vessel.

This question is too vague. This question needs to be rewritten as to avoid confusion.

The answer is correct, because the sailing vessel can only navigate within the confined constraints of the channel, the fishing vessel must give way
