D
all vessels, regardless of size and commercial application
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) an oil tanker of 150 gross tons and above, or other ship of 400 gross tons and above. This is correct based on the regulatory requirements outlined in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Under Annex I of MARPOL, oil tankers of 150 gross tons and above, as well as other ships of 400 gross tons and above, are required to have a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) onboard. The other options are incorrect as they either set the threshold too low (option D) or too high (options A and B) compared to the actual MARPOL requirements.
