  2. BA vessel not under command and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver✓ correct
  3. CA vessel not under command only
  4. DA sailing vessel and a vessel not under command

Why B is correct

33 CFR §83.18(c) states that a vessel engaged in fishing shall, so far as possible, keep out of the way of a vessel not under command and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver. Sailing vessels and power-driven vessels are not listed as vessels that fishing vessels must avoid.
