DA device that produces a fecal coliform bacteria count not greater than 200 per 100 milliliters and no visible floating solids.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A device that produces a fecal coliform bacteria count not greater than 1,000 per 100 milliliters and no visible floating solids. This is the correct definition of a "Type I Marine Sanitation Device" as per 33 CFR Subchapter O. The regulations specify that a Type I device must meet these performance standards, which are less stringent than the requirements for a "Type II" device. The other options are incorrect because A) describes the performance standards for a Type II device, B) is a general definition of a marine sanitation device, and D) has a lower bacteria count than the regulatory definition for a Type I device.
