Which statement is TRUE concerning a vessel under oars?

A vessel under oars is considered a type of non-motorized vessel and, depending on its size and situation, may exhibit navigation lights similar to those required for sailing vessels. According to the night navigation rules, a vessel under oars that is 7 meters or longer must display sidelights and a stern light, aligning it closely with the lighting requirements for sailing vessels. This allows for better visibility and identification on the water, particularly in conditions with reduced visibility.

In scenarios where a vessel under oars is navigating at night, compliance with these lighting requirements is essential to ensure safety and avoid collisions. While the other options address various lighting situations, none align correctly with the established rules and regulations for vessels under oars, which indeed have a more defined light display requirement similar to sailing vessels.
