70% to pass

When anyone voluntarily deposits his/her Merchant Mariner Credential with a Coast Guard investigating officer, which of the following is TRUE?

A it may be for reasons of mental or physical incompetence
B it must be for reason of addiction to narcotics
C he/she permanently gives up rights to the credential
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) it may be for reasons of mental or physical incompetence. When an individual voluntarily deposits their Merchant Mariner Credential with a Coast Guard investigating officer, it is typically done when the individual is concerned about their mental or physical fitness to safely operate a vessel. This action does not permanently forfeit the individual's rights to the credential, but rather allows the Coast Guard to evaluate the situation and determine if any restrictions or actions need to be taken regarding the credential. The other answer choices (B and C) are incorrect, as voluntarily depositing the credential is not specifically required for addiction to narcotics, and it does not necessarily result in the permanent loss of the credential.
