Which act would be considered barratry?

A A criminal act committed by a crew member ashore in a foreign port
B Smuggling with the connivance of the ship owner
C Theft of cargo by longshoremen
D A criminal act committed by the ship Master in violation of his duty to the ship owner
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) A criminal act committed by the ship Master in violation of his duty to the ship owner. Barratry is a criminal act committed by the ship's Master that is in violation of their duty to the ship owner. This includes acts such as intentionally running the ship aground, scuttling the vessel, or other criminal misconduct that damages the ship or its cargo. The other answer choices do not meet the definition of barratry, as they describe criminal acts by the crew or longshoremen, rather than the Master specifically.
