The minimum number of crew members permitted by law to operate your vessel can be determined by checking the _______________.

AMaster's crew list
BMuster List ("Station Bill")
CA. B. S. Certificate
DCertificate of Inspection
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard specifies the minimum number of crew members required to safely operate the vessel. This requirement is based on factors such as the vessel's size, type, and intended use, and is legally mandated. The COI serves as the primary document that determines the vessel's legal crew complement. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly specify the minimum crew requirement. The Master's crew list and Muster List ("Station Bill") simply list the crew members, but do not set the legal minimum. The A.B.S. Certificate is related to the vessel's construction and does not address crew requirements.
