AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Plastic or garbage mixed with plastic. The MARPOL Annex V regulations and 33CFR Subchapter O prohibit the discharge of plastic or any garbage mixed with plastic in any waters. This is because plastic can persist in the marine environment for a very long time and poses a significant threat to marine life. The other options are incorrect because: A) Unground paper products, rags, glass, metal, bottles, and crockery are allowed to be discharged under certain conditions; C) Floating dunnage, lining, or packing material are also prohibited; and D) Ground paper products, rags, glass, metal, bottles, and crockery are allowed to be discharged under certain conditions.
