Under the Inland Rules, Rule 14 applies only when vessels are in what condition of visibility?
- A. Any condition of visibility, because it falls within Rules 4 through 10.
- B. Restricted visibility only, because special precautions are required.

- D. Clear visibility only, as defined by the Secretary.
Why C is correct
33 CFR §83.11 states that Rules 11 through 18 apply to vessels in sight of one another. Rule 14 (§83.14) falls within that range. 'In sight' is defined in §83.03(k) as when one vessel can be observed visually from the other.
