AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) State Police officer. The Officers Competency Certificates Convention of 1936 is an international agreement that sets standards for the qualifications of officers on merchant vessels. Under this convention, certain designated officials can detain vessels that do not comply with the required crew certification standards. These officials include officers of the U.S. Customs Service, Coast Guard officers, and Coast Guard petty officers, but not state police officers, who do not have the authority to enforce the provisions of this international maritime convention.
