C

D
steamship company
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Master of the vessel. The master (captain) of a vessel has total responsibility for shipping and discharging the seamen on that vessel. This is a fundamental aspect of the master's authority and duties under maritime law and regulations. The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs Service, and steamship companies do not have direct responsibility for shipping and discharging the crew, as that falls under the purview of the vessel's master.
