AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard is the agency responsible for issuing Certificates of Financial Responsibility (COFR) under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The COFR provides evidence that a vessel operator has sufficient financial resources to cover potential oil spill cleanup and damage costs. This requirement applies to vessels over 300 gross tons operating in U.S. waters. The other options (B, C, and D) are not the correct agencies for issuing the COFR.
