When you see a green and white light on another vessel, you are the...

Give-way vessel
Stand-on vessel
Vessel in distress
Vessel under power

The correct answer is: Stand-on vessel

When you see a green and white light on another vessel, it means that this vessel is displaying a green light on the starboard (right) side and a white light on the port (left) side. This indicates that the vessel is a power-driven vessel, and the green light identifies it as the Stand-on vessel. The Stand-on vessel has the right of way and should maintain its course and speed unless otherwise directed. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the vessel's status or do not have the right of way in the given scenario. Option A, the Give-way vessel, is required to take action to avoid a collision. Option C, the vessel in distress, would display a red and white light rather than a green and white light. And option D, vessel under power, is too broad and does not specify the vessel's position or course.
