Final answer:

To avoid colliding with a stand-on vessel, the operator of a give-way vessel should take early and substantial action to stay well clear.


Explanation:

To avoid colliding with a stand-on vessel, the operator of a give-way vessel should take early and substantial action to stay well clear (Option B). This means altering course and speed as necessary to ensure a safe distance from the stand-on vessel. Maintaining present course or speeding up when the give-way vessel is smaller (Options A and D) can lead to a collision.
