Where is this rule? The reference I have says that two vertical white
lights at the mast head is the signal for a tow or pushing a barge...
thre vertical lights if it exceeds 200 meters in length (which would be
a pretty darn big barge).

Maybe not in Nealand, but you should check in the rule book. I think
you just confessed to hiring someone to take the test for you.

C. is correct. The other answers all call for a stern light. The barge
being pushed would not have a sternlight, that would be found on the stern
of the pushing vessel.

I was doing it from memory while you had to look it
up. Besides, as the answers are written, C is NOT
a valid answer.

There is no such thing as a sidlight nor a speical flashing light.

B is the closets best answer.

Doug,
The question is asking about the barge, not the towboat. The three vertical
lights on the towboat would involve a towing astern configuration, not
towing/pushing ahead.
