- CA vessel less than 20 meters in length

Why D is correct
33 CFR §83.10(d)(i) permits vessels of less than 20 meters in length, sailing vessels, and vessels engaged in fishing to use the inshore traffic zone even when the adjacent traffic lane can be safely used. A power-driven vessel of 25 meters does not fall into any of these exempted categories.
