AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) E liquid. Bunker "C" is a heavy fuel oil that is classified as an E liquid under the US Coast Guard regulations. E liquids are defined as oils that are not flammable at temperatures below 60°C (140°F), such as heavy fuel oils like Bunker "C". This classification is important for determining the appropriate storage, handling, and emergency response procedures for these types of oils on board vessels.
