A load at which a test sample broke
B number of strands and of wires in each strand
C date of the test
D name of the vessel
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) name of the vessel. The reasoning is that the certificate for wire rope used in shipboard cargo gear must certify the load at which a test sample broke, the number of strands and wires in each strand, and the date of the test. However, the name of the vessel is not a required piece of information that must be included in the certificate according to the regulations. The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because they are all required to be included in the certificate, per the relevant regulations for wire rope used in shipboard cargo gear.
