Question 2936 Deck General

The correct answer is B) imprisoned for up to a year. According to the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, a person who willfully violates safety regulations may be fined up to $5,000 and imprisoned for up to a year. This penalty is outlined in Title 46, United States Code, Section 2302, which establishes criminal penalties for violations of Coast Guard regulations. The other answer choices are incorrect because option A) would not provide a sufficient penalty, option C) is not a valid penalty for this type of violation, and option D) specifies a longer imprisonment term than what is allowed under the regulations.
