A seaman may not make an allotment to his _______________.

A brother
B minor children
C mother-in-law
D grandparents
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) mother-in-law. Explanation: According to Coast Guard regulations, a seaman is not permitted to make an allotment to their mother-in-law. Allotments are a way for seamen to have a portion of their wages automatically sent to designated individuals or institutions, such as family members or creditors. However, the regulations restrict allotments to immediate family members, which do not include a mother-in-law. The other options (brother, minor children, grandparents) would be allowable allotment recipients, as they are considered immediate family members.
