AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Discharge overboard to sea. According to MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Subchapter O, vessels of 400 gross tons and above engaged in commerce are required to maintain detailed records when discharging garbage overboard to sea. This detailed record must include a description of the contents of the garbage. In contrast, for other disposal methods such as incineration on the ship (A), discharge to a reception facility (C), or discharge to another ship (D), the regulations do not require a detailed description of the garbage contents in the recordkeeping.
