AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 5 years. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, requires the person in charge of a vessel to immediately notify the Coast Guard as soon as they know of any oil discharge from the vessel. Failure to notify the Coast Guard can lead to a monetary fine and imprisonment up to 5 years, as stated in the Act. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum imprisonment term specified in the regulations. The Act imposes a penalty of up to 5 years of imprisonment for failure to report an oil discharge, not 3, 2, or 1 year(s).
