Aof the illustrated lighting panel board L110 of the illustration
B3 amps
C12 amps
D15 amps
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 15 amps. According to 46 CFR 111.75-5, the maximum amperage load on a circuit should not exceed 15 amps. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the electrical system onboard a vessel. The 15-amp limit helps prevent circuit overloading and potential fire hazards. The other options are incorrect because B) 3 amps is too low for a typical lighting panel circuit, and C) 12 amps, while a reasonable value, does not match the 15-amp maximum specified in the regulation.
