Who cannot commit the crime of barratry?

A Ship's unlicensed crewmember(s)
B Master
C Ship's officer(s)
D Ship owner
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Ship owner. Barratry is a crime committed by the master or crew of a ship, involving willful and corrupt conduct that is prejudicial to the owner of the vessel. Since the ship owner is not a member of the crew, they cannot be the one committing the crime of barratry. The other options (A, B, and C) are all members of the ship's crew who could potentially commit the crime of barratry, but the ship owner cannot.
