What color is the starboard sidelight?

Red
Green
White
Yellow

The correct answer is: Green

The answer is green, as the starboard sidelight is always green on a boat. This is to differentiate it from the red port sidelight, which is located on the port side of the boat. White lights are used as stern lights while yellow lights are usually used as signal lights. Therefore, A (Red), C (White), and D (Yellow) are incorrect options since they do not correspond to the specific navigation light. Choosing these options could potentially cause confusion and misidentification of the boat's direction at night, leading to unsafe navigation.
