AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to Coast Guard regulations, the Oil Record Book must record all operations involving oil cargo on a tank-to-tank basis. This includes the discharge of any bilge water from machinery spaces, any internal transfers of oil cargo during a voyage, and the loading or unloading of any or all oil cargo. All of these operations must be meticulously recorded in the Oil Record Book as they are critical for tracking the movement and handling of oil cargo on tankers to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not cover the full scope of operations that must be recorded in the Oil Record Book per Coast Guard requirements.
