AI Explanation
The correct answer is A. Regulations require that OSVs (Offshore Supply Vessels) under 100 GT (Gross Tons) must have a steering system capable of moving the rudder from 35° on one side to 30° on the other side, in no more than 28 seconds, while making maximum headway. This requirement is specified in the relevant maritime regulations for the design and construction of these types of vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific regulatory requirement for the rudder movement and response time under maximum headway conditions for OSVs under 100 GT.
