Sorry Nav, you're reading far too much into the question than what was
stated. First of all, there is no mention of "passing," it only says
"upon sighting." There is no mention of distance. If this is a passing
situation, only power driven vessels are required to exchange signals.

Although on occasion the test questions require one unstated assumption,
when its a string of them its a trick answer, put in to confuse the unwary.

They should indicate which side they are to pass eachother.

Why is C wrong, and how can A be right? Are you saying that all
vessels must sound a horn when the see another round a bend, even if
they're headed in a different direction? That seems rather chaotic to
me.

Do you follow the "sounds good to me" rules down there?

C is not correct therefore D cannot be the right answer. That leaves
A and B. Of the two, A requires a sound signal.
