A documented oceangoing fishing vessel is required to have emergency instructions posted if it _______________.

A has sleeping accommodations
B is over 25 gross tons
C exceeds 49 feet in length
D carries more than 16 persons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) carries more than 16 persons. According to the regulations, a documented oceangoing fishing vessel is required to have emergency instructions posted if it carries more than 16 persons on board. This is a safety requirement to ensure that all crew members and passengers are aware of the proper emergency procedures in the event of an incident. The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because the requirement for posting emergency instructions is based on the number of persons carried, not the vessel's sleeping accommodations, gross tonnage, or length.
