A 1"
B 1-1/4"
C 1-1/2"
D 2"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 1". Under Annex V to MARPOL 73/78, garbage discharged from vessels that are located between 3 and 12 nautical miles from the nearest land must be ground to less than 1 inch (25 mm) in size. This requirement is stated in Regulation 3 of Annex V, which specifies the discharge restrictions for different types of garbage based on the vessel's distance from land. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the 1 inch (25 mm) size limit specified in the MARPOL Annex V regulation for discharges between 3 and 12 nautical miles from land.
