C
The cylinders must have a red label for flammability and a green label for compressed gas.
D
The cylinders must be stowed at least 10 horizontal feet from corrosive materials in the same space.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) The cylinders must be stowed at least 10 horizontal feet from corrosive materials in the same space. This is correct because the regulations for the stowage of acetylene cylinders aboard vessels require that they be separated from other cargo, especially corrosive materials, by at least 10 horizontal feet. This is to prevent potential damage or leakage of the cylinders due to chemical reactions. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirements for the safe stowage of acetylene cylinders on board vessels.
