| A) is the correct answer. Rule 34 only applies, "When vessels are in sight of one another" therefore not maneuvering/warning signals. You SHALL NOT sound the danger signal. That leaves A, B or C. Rule 19 (d) prohibits an alteration to port for a vessel forward of the beam so it cannot be B). A is the correct answer. |

| What is a "meeting situation?" That is not defined in the rules. |

| It would benefit to provide a definition of "collision course" I assumed it to mean a head-on/meeting situation. |
