D
16
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 8 ring life buoys. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) certified for ocean service, the minimum required number of ring life buoys is 8. This is specified in 46 CFR 131.830, which states that OSVs must carry at least 8 ring life buoys on board. The other answer choices are incorrect because 4 ring life buoys would be insufficient for an OSV certified for ocean service, while 12 or 16 would exceed the minimum regulatory requirement.
