AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Vessel owner. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the vessel owner is responsible for ensuring that a ship is not operated unless a waste management plan is utilized. Specifically, 33 CFR 151.57 states that "The owner or operator of a ship ... shall ensure that the ship is not operated unless a waste management plan is utilized." The other options, such as the U.S. Coast Guard or the vessel's master, are not directly responsible for the waste management plan under the CFR.
