AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 10. According to the manning regulations for US flag vessels, a 2 watch cargo vessel with a deck crew of 20 people (exclusive of officers) is required to have at least 10 of those people be able seamen. The regulations specify that for vessels like this, at least 50% of the deck crew (excluding officers) must be able seamen. With a deck crew of 20, 50% of that is 10 able seamen. The other options (13, 7, or 5) do not align with the 50% requirement set forth in the regulations.
