AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) loss of life. According to the Coast Guard regulations, a fishing vessel casualty must be reported to the Coast Guard if it involves a loss of life. This is because the Coast Guard is responsible for investigating marine casualties to determine the cause and prevent similar incidents in the future. Other types of incidents, such as the loss of equipment that doesn't reduce the vessel's maneuverability (A), property damage under $10,000 (B), or minor injuries requiring only first aid (D), do not necessarily require mandatory reporting to the Coast Guard.
