A The vessel must be on foreign articles.
B This is considered a coastwise voyage.
C An Official Logbook must be maintained.
D The maintenance of an Official Logbook is optional.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) An Official Logbook must be maintained. Explanation: For a vessel of 185 GT on a voyage between New York and San Francisco, the vessel is considered to be on a coastwise voyage, which is a domestic voyage within the United States. For any vessel over 100 GT engaged in a coastwise voyage, the maintenance of an Official Logbook is required by US Coast Guard regulations. The other options are incorrect - the vessel is not on foreign articles (A), and the maintenance of an Official Logbook is not optional (D) for this type of voyage.
