What defines a power-driven vessel?

  1. A vessel propelled by oars

  2. Any vessel propelled by machinery

  3. A vessel under sail alone

  4. A vessel propelled by wind power

The correct answer is: Any vessel propelled by machinery

A power-driven vessel is defined as any vessel that is propelled by machinery. While oars and wind power are methods of propulsion, they do not fall under the definition of a power-driven vessel. A vessel under sail alone is also not considered a power-driven vessel as it relies on wind power rather than machinery. Therefore, option B is the only correct and comprehensive answer.
