AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) correct the charts of the area to be transited using the Notice(s) to Mariners or foreign equivalent reasonably available. Vessels entering the navigable waters of the United States are required to ensure their nautical charts are up-to-date with the latest corrections from the Notice to Mariners. This is a regulatory requirement to maintain situational awareness and safe navigation. The other options, while potentially good practices, are not specifically required by regulations for vessels entering US waters.
