What should vessels less than 20 metres in length not do within narrow channels?

Use a prolonged blast to announce their approach
Stay to the starboard side
Block the passage of larger vessels
Operate at a safe and practical distance from the outer limit

The correct answer is: Block the passage of larger vessels

Vessels less than 20 metres in length should not block the passage of larger vessels within narrow channels. This is because larger vessels require more space to maneuver and if a smaller vessel blocks their path, it could lead to a collision or obstruction of the channel. Options A, B, and D do not address this concern and instead focus on proper communication, navigation, and distance from the outer limit. While these are important guidelines for safe boating, they are not specifically related to vessels less than 20 metres in length within narrow channels.
