Many uninspected motor vessels require load lines. For the purpose of the Load Line Regulations, the term 'surveyor' means _______________.

Aany person from the Coast Guard who performs duties with respect to the inspection, enforcement, and administration of Title 52 of the revised statute
Ban officer of the Coast Guard designated by the Commandant to command all Coast Guard activities within his district
Cany person from the Coast Guard who is in charge of a marine inspection zone
Dany person designated by the American Bureau of Shipping who actually examines the vessel
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) any person designated by the American Bureau of Shipping who actually examines the vessel. The Load Line Regulations define the term "surveyor" as a person designated by the American Bureau of Shipping to actually examine the vessel for the purpose of load line assignments. This is because the Load Line Regulations delegate the responsibility for conducting load line surveys and issuing load line certificates to recognized organizations like the American Bureau of Shipping, rather than the Coast Guard. The other options are incorrect because they refer to different Coast Guard personnel who are not specifically designated as "surveyors" under the Load Line Regulations.
