70% to pass

The type of carrier required to file a copy of freight tariffs would be the _______________.

A public vessel
B common carrier
C bulk carrier
D tramp
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) common carrier. Common carriers, such as freight shipping companies, are required to file copies of their freight tariffs with the appropriate regulatory authorities. This is in accordance with federal regulations that govern the shipping industry and ensure transparency in pricing and services. The other options are incorrect because: A) public vessels are government-owned ships, which are not subject to the same tariff filing requirements; C) bulk carriers transport unpackaged commodities like coal or grain, but are not required to file tariffs; and D) tramp vessels operate on an irregular schedule without fixed routes, and also do not have tariff filing obligations.
