Why should a vessel operator maintain a proper lookout?

  1. To find the best fishing spots

  2. To enjoy the scenery

  3. To avoid collisions

  4. To monitor weather conditions

The correct answer is: To avoid collisions

Maintaining a proper lookout is an essential safety measure for vessel operators to avoid collisions. While finding the best fishing spots or enjoying the scenery may be enjoyable activities, they should not take precedence over the safety of the vessel and its passengers. Weather conditions can also be monitored while maintaining a lookout for potential hazards. Therefore, C (to avoid collisions) is the most important reason for maintaining a proper lookout.
