Neal has an older copy of the Rules, like mine.
The Rule has changed recently.
D is correct.

And what about rule 24 (f)(ii):
a vessel being towed alongside shall exhibit a sternlight and
at the forward end, sidelights and a special flashing light
It really isn't that hard to learn this stuff, Neal.
And what do you mean "by definition"?

I fail to see why you two idiots cannot understand that by definition
a special flashing light is ONLY used on a vessel being pushed ahead.
A. is the correct answer.
B. is incorrect because a vessel being towed along side does not require
a special flashing light. That makes D. wrong as well.
Get a clue.

A is the correct answer.
The question is inland only. In the inland rules a special flashing
light is NOT, I repeat, NOT
required when towing along side past the demarcation line. A hip tow
requires sidelights and two yellows on its stern. It does not require a
special flashing light.
INLAND
A special flashing light is used on a vessel
A. being pushed ahead
