BThe discharge of any sewage, treated or untreated, is permitted.
CThe discharge of comminuted sewage is prohibited, but the discharge of disinfected sewage is permitted.
DThe discharge of disinfected sewage is prohibited, but the discharge of comminuted sewage is permitted.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The discharge of any sewage, treated or untreated, is permitted. Under MARPOL Annex IV, when a ship is more than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, the discharge of any sewage, whether treated or untreated, is permitted. This is because the distance from land is considered sufficient to prevent pollution of coastal waters. The other answer choices are incorrect because they either prohibit the discharge of certain types of sewage or have the wrong understanding of the regulation.
