AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. When a marine accident occurs on a small passenger vessel that results in loss of life, the Captain or operator is required to report the following information to the U.S. Coast Guard under the applicable regulations: 1) The number and name of the vessel involved 2) The exact location of the occurrence 3) The names of the vessel's owners This comprehensive reporting requirement ensures the Coast Guard has all the key details needed to properly investigate the incident and take any necessary actions. The other answer choices (A, B, and C) are incorrect because the regulations mandate reporting all three pieces of information, not just one or two of them.
