Which type of marine sanitation device (MSD) is used solely for the storage of sewage and flush water at ambient air pressure and temperature?

A Type I

B Type II

C Type III

D Type IV

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Type III. A Type III MSD is used solely for the storage of sewage and flush water at ambient air pressure and temperature. It does not have any treatment capabilities, unlike Type I and Type II MSDs which use maceration and/or disinfection to treat the sewage. Type IV MSDs are advanced treatment systems that go beyond the requirements of Type I and II. Therefore, out of the given options, a Type III MSD best matches the description provided in the question.
