The amount of garbage disposed must be entered into the records maintained by each ship and stated in _______________.

Abarrels, measured in 55 gallon drums
Bweight in either kilogram or pounds
Ccubic yards convertible to long tons
Dcubic meters
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) cubic meters. The U.S. Coast Guard requires that the amount of garbage disposed from a ship must be recorded in cubic meters. This is the standard unit of measurement specified in the regulations for tracking and reporting garbage disposal from ships. Entering the garbage amounts in cubic meters allows for consistent record-keeping and reporting across the shipping industry. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirements. Barrels, weight in pounds/kilograms, and cubic yards/long tons are not the standardized units mandated for this purpose by the Coast Guard.
