AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Plastic or garbage mixed with plastic. According to MARPOL Annex V regulations and 33 CFR Subchapter O, the discharge of plastic or garbage mixed with plastic is prohibited in any waters. This is because plastic is non-biodegradable and can have severe environmental impacts when discharged into the marine environment. The other answer choices, while also regulated, are not as strictly prohibited as plastic or plastic-mixed garbage.
