D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The master of a vessel may refuse to transport a destitute seaman back to the U.S. if the seaman has a contagious disease (option A), as this could jeopardize the health and safety of the crew. The master is not normally required to take the seaman (option B), as this would be an additional burden on the vessel. Additionally, the master may refuse to take the seaman if it would violate the vessel's Certificate of Inspection (option C), which outlines the vessel's operational limits and capacities.
