A Pressure-vacuum
B Branch vent line
C Vent header
D Gooseneck vents fitted with flame screens
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Gooseneck vents fitted with flame screens. According to the regulations, barges transporting No. 6 fuel oil must be equipped with gooseneck vents fitted with flame screens. This is to prevent the potential ignition of flammable vapors from the cargo. The other options, such as pressure-vacuum vents, branch vent lines, or vent headers, may not provide the necessary level of safety and protection required for the transportation of this type of flammable cargo.
