What is the period of validity of a Merchant Mariner Credential?

A 2 years
B 1 year
C 5 years
D 3 years
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 5 years. The period of validity for a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) issued by the U.S. Coast Guard is 5 years. This is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR 10.811), which states that an MMC is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance. The other options are incorrect because 2 years (A) and 1 year (B) are not the standard validity period for an MMC, and 3 years (D) is also not the correct duration as per the regulations.
