C admeasure over 100 GT
D be 79 or more feet in length
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) be 79 or more feet in length. According to the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, a vessel must be 79 feet (24 meters) or more in length to be issued an International Tonnage Certificate. This certificate is required for vessels engaged in international voyages, regardless of whether they are involved in intercoastal or international trade.
