- AA power-driven vessel of 25 meters in length
- BA vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver
- CA sailing vessel✓ correct

Why C is correct
33 CFR §83.10(d)(i) specifically exempts vessels of less than 20 meters in length, sailing vessels, and vessels engaged in fishing from the prohibition on using an inshore traffic zone when the traffic lane could be safely used. A sailing vessel of any length qualifies; a 25-meter power-driven vessel does not.
