A 3 years and must be renewed
B 2 years and must be renewed
C 5 years and must be renewed
D life and need not be renewed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 5 years and must be renewed. The U.S. Coast Guard issues a credential for Master of Towing Vessels that is valid for 5 years, after which it must be renewed. This is specified in the Coast Guard regulations governing the requirements for merchant mariner credentials. The credential is not issued for life and does not remain valid without periodic renewal, which is why options A, B, and D are incorrect.
