70% to pass

No "T-boat", however propelled, may operate with more than six passengers onboard _______________.

A until the Boarding Officer has checked the papers
B unless the vessel has a valid Permit to Proceed
C until a permit is obtained from the Collector of Customs
D unless the operator has a Coast Guard Credential
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) unless the operator has a Coast Guard Credential. The reasoning is that the Coast Guard regulates the carriage of passengers on uninspected vessels, which includes "T-boats" or small passenger vessels. According to regulations, a T-boat may not operate with more than six passengers onboard unless the operator holds a valid Coast Guard-issued credential, such as a Captain's License. The other options (A, B, and C) do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirements for passenger vessel operations.
