B suspension or revocation of tankermans document
C fine
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Tankermen who permit or cause oil to go into a navigable waterway can face a combination of federal punishments, including imprisonment, suspension or revocation of their tankerman's document, and monetary fines. This is due to the Clean Water Act and other environmental regulations that prohibit the discharge of oil into navigable waters. Violating these laws can result in criminal, civil, and administrative penalties for the responsible tankerman.
