B notify the U.S. Coast Guard

C No action is required if you are more than 25 miles from land and no plastic materials are dumped.

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) keep a record for two years. Under the Pollution Regulations, when dumping garbage at sea, you are required to keep a record of the dumping for at least two years. This is to ensure proper documentation and compliance with the regulations. The other options are incorrect - you do not need to notify the Coast Guard (B), there are restrictions on dumping within 25 miles of land and for plastic materials (C), and making an entry in the Official Logbook (D) is not the specific requirement stated in the regulations.
