AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Discharge of waste oil or sludge to a reception facility. According to MARPOL Annex I regulations and 33 CFR Subchapter O, ships of 400 gross tons or above (other than tankers) must document the discharge of waste oil or sludge to a reception facility in the Oil Record Book. This is to ensure proper disposal and tracking of oily waste generated onboard. The other options, such as discharging bilge water or ballast, do not require documentation in the Oil Record Book under these regulations.
