AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Diesel engines with a power output of more than 130kW. The MARPOL Annex VI regulations on NOx emissions apply to diesel engines with a power output greater than 130kW, which includes most main propulsion diesel engines on commercial vessels. Diesel engines powering emergency generator sets (option C), lifeboats (option D), or with a power output of 130kW or less (option B) are generally exempt from these specific NOx emission limits under the MARPOL Annex VI regulations.
