AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 13. According to the U.S. Coast Guard manning regulations, a vessel with a deck crew of 20 people, exclusive of the officers, must have at least 13 of those crew members designated as Able Seamen. This is because the regulations require that at least 65% of the deck crew, excluding officers, on a vessel of this size must be Able Seamen. The other options are incorrect because 5 Able Seamen would be less than the required 65% (option A), 7 Able Seamen would be less than the required 65% (option C), and 10 Able Seamen would also be less than the required 65% (option D).
