According to the Coast Guard Pollution Prevention Regulations (33 CFR), what is the minimum number of bolts required in a temporarily connected standard ANSI coupling?

A 8 bolts
B 6 bolts
C 2 bolts
D 4 bolts
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 4 bolts. According to the Coast Guard Pollution Prevention Regulations in 33 CFR, the minimum number of bolts required in a temporarily connected standard ANSI coupling is 4. This requirement is specified in the regulations to ensure the integrity and safety of the coupling connection, which is critical for preventing oil spills and other pollution incidents. The other answer choices are incorrect because 8 bolts (A) would be an excessive requirement, 6 bolts (B) is not the minimum specified in the regulations, and 2 bolts (C) would not provide the necessary structural integrity for a temporary connection.
