AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. MARPOL 73/78 is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, which is the main international convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes. It was adopted in 1973 and modified by the 1978 Protocol, hence the name MARPOL 73/78. The other options are incorrect as they deal with different international maritime conventions and codes, such as the International Gas Carrier Code (option A), the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (option C), and the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (option D).
