DTwo tests are required over a 5 year period, and no more than 3 years can elapse between any test or inspection and its immediate predecessor.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. Two tests are required over a 5 year period, and no more than 3 years can elapse between any test or inspection and its immediate predecessor. This is because according to 46 CFR 61, the inspection interval for a boiler is 2.5 years. Over a 5 year period, this means two inspections would be required, with no more than 3 years between any inspection and the previous one. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the 2.5 year inspection interval and the 5 year time frame specified in the question.
