Why B is correct
33 CFR §164.11(m) requires that predicted set and drift be known by the person directing movement of the vessel. Sections (l) and (n) similarly require knowledge of current velocity and direction and tidal state, reflecting the regulatory emphasis on understanding water movement before and during transit.
