AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. A Serious Marine Incident (SMI) is defined in 46 CFR 4.03-2 and includes any of the following situations: 1) Damage to property in excess of $100,000, 2) An injury to a crewmember that renders that person unfit to continue working on the vessel, and 3) A discharge of 10,000 gallons or more of oil into navigable waters of the U.S. Any one of these three scenarios would qualify as a Serious Marine Incident that must be reported to the Coast Guard. The other answer choices are incorrect because they only list one or two of the three criteria that define a Serious Marine Incident.
