70% to passIf an incorrect entry were made in the Oil Record Book, you should _______________.
Anotify the ship's officer in charge
Bdraw a single line through the wrong entry and initial it
Cerase the entry and rewrite it
Dcompletely black it out and make the correct entry alongside
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) draw a single line through the wrong entry and initial it. The Oil Record Book is a legal document that must be properly maintained according to MARPOL regulations. Drawing a single line through the wrong entry and initialing it is the proper way to correct a mistake, as it preserves the original entry and clearly indicates the correction. This maintains the integrity of the record and provides an audit trail. The other options are incorrect because: A) simply notifying the officer does not properly document the correction; C) erasing the entry would alter the original record; and D) blacking out the entry would obscure the original information, which is not permitted.
