A carries more than 49 passengers
B is more than 40 feet in length and operates on partially exposed waters
C operates on exposed waters
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to the regulations governing small passenger vessels, a collision bulkhead is required if the vessel is not more than 65 feet in length and meets any of the following criteria: carries more than 49 passengers, is more than 40 feet in length and operates on partially exposed waters, or operates on exposed waters. This requirement is in place to provide additional structural integrity and safety in the event of a collision. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the criteria that necessitate the installation of a collision bulkhead on a small passenger vessel of not more than 65 feet in length.
