AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) it must be signed by both the person-in-charge of the pumping and the person-in-charge of receiving. The Declaration of Inspection is a required document prior to the transfer of fuel or other hazardous materials. It is intended to ensure that both the person conducting the pumping and the person receiving the fuel have agreed to proper procedures and precautions. Both individuals must sign the Declaration to confirm their shared responsibility for the safe transfer. The other options are incorrect. Option B is not related to the Declaration of Inspection. Option C describes a different procedure not directly relevant to the Declaration. Option D is incorrect, as the Declaration of Inspection is a separate document from the Certificate of Inspection.
