A
oily water separator for segregation
B
tank that is completely separated from the cargo oil and fuel oil systems
C

D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) tank that is completely separated from the cargo oil and fuel oil systems. The term "segregated ballast" refers to ballast water that is carried in tanks which are completely separated from the cargo oil and fuel oil systems. This ensures that the ballast water is not contaminated by any oil or other pollutants, allowing it to be safely discharged without causing environmental harm. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately define the regulatory meaning of "segregated ballast."
