AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) No. 12 AWG cable or cord may be spliced for repairs if made in compliance with CFR 111.60-19. This is correct because according to CFR 111.60-19, flexible electric cord or cable used aboard ships must be at least 12 AWG in size. Smaller sizes such as 14 AWG, 16 AWG, or 18 AWG are not permitted for splicing repairs, as they do not meet the minimum size requirement. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because they specify smaller cable sizes that do not comply with the CFR regulations for flexible electric cord and cable used on ships.
