Why B is correct
33 CFR §83.10(d)(i) states that vessels of less than 20 meters in length, sailing vessels, and vessels engaged in fishing may use the inshore traffic zone regardless of whether they could safely use the traffic lane. A sailing vessel of any length qualifies; a 25-meter power-driven vessel does not.
