How long must a "Declaration of Inspection" be kept on board?

A One week
B Two weeks
C One month
D Three months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) One month. According to the regulations governing the US Coast Guard's Captain's License Examinations, a "Declaration of Inspection" must be kept on board the vessel for a minimum of one month. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which outlines the rules and guidelines for commercial vessels operating in US waters. The other options are incorrect because a one-week or two-week retention period is not long enough to meet the regulatory requirement, and a three-month period is longer than the mandated one-month minimum.
