AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) authorized only with prior approval of the Federal On-Scene Coordinator. The use of sinking and dispersing chemical agents for removal of surface oil is strictly regulated and requires prior approval from the Federal On-Scene Coordinator. This is because the dispersal of these chemicals can have significant impacts on marine ecosystems and must be carefully evaluated before use. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirements for the use of these agents.
