- ✓ A vessel engaged in fishingCorrect
- B. A vessel proceeding downbound on the Western Rivers

Why A is correct
33 CFR §83.18(a)(iii) expressly requires a power-driven vessel underway to keep out of the way of a vessel engaged in fishing. Vessels at anchor are not underway per §83.03(i), and 'constrained by draft' is not a vessel category listed in §83.18.
