A Officer In Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI)
B Mariner
C Shipping Company
D National Maritime Center
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Mariner. When a mariner is discharged from a vessel, the master or individual in charge of the vessel prepares a certificate of discharge, and the original copy of this certificate is given to the mariner. This is in accordance with the regulations set forth by the U.S. Coast Guard for the issuance of certificates of discharge. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) does not receive the original discharge certificate, C) The shipping company does not receive the original discharge certificate, and D) The National Maritime Center does not receive the original discharge certificate.
