Final Answer:
In a head-on meeting situation between a sailboat and a PWC (Personal Watercraft), the give-way vessel is the PWC. Option B is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), when two power-driven vessels are meeting head-on, the give-way vessel is the one that can best maneuver to avoid a collision. In this scenario, the PWC (Power-Driven Vessel) is generally more maneuverable than a sailboat, making it the give-way vessel. The sailboat is considered the stand-on vessel and should maintain its course and speed. The PWC should take early and substantial action to avoid the sailboat. These rules are established to promote safe navigation and prevent collisions on the water by assigning right-of-way responsibilities based on the vessels' characteristics and maneuverability.
Option B is the answer.
