C 75%
D 100%
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 50%. According to the regulations for towing vessels over 100 gross tons that are permitted to maintain a two-watch system, at least 50% of the deck crew must be able seamen. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 15.605, which states that "at least 50 percent of the deck crew (excluding the master and the mate(s)) on towing vessels over 100 gross tons that maintain a two-watch system must be able seamen." The other options are incorrect because they do not align with this regulation.
