A 400 gross registered tons
B 100 gross registered tons
C 300 gross registered tons
D 150 gross registered tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 150 gross registered tons. According to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), all oil tankers of 150 gross registered tons and above are required to have an International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate. This requirement is to ensure these vessels comply with international regulations for the prevention of oil pollution from ships. The other answer choices are incorrect because 400 gross registered tons (A) and 300 gross registered tons (C) are above the 150 gross registered ton threshold, while 100 gross registered tons (B) is below the threshold for the IOPP Certificate requirement.
