Aoil refuse
Bcrude oil
Ccooking oil
Dsludge
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) cooking oil. According to MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), the definition of "oil" does not include cooking oil. MARPOL defines oil as "petroleum in any form including crude oil, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse, and refined products." Cooking oil is not considered a petroleum product and is therefore excluded from the MARPOL definition of oil. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) oil refuse is included in the MARPOL definition of oil, B) crude oil is explicitly included in the definition, and D) sludge is also included as a form of oil under MARPOL.
