A and C are both correct. Towing vessels do by default have rights over sailing vessels; but I chose A because the question went so far as to actually give me the illustration

The Tow boat is given no special privilege just because it is towing and will have to follow the rules for a power driven vessel unless it is declaring Restricted in ability to maneuver and would need to show the lights and or dayshapes as such.
