AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) holding its slops onboard until they can be discharged to a shore side reception facility. This is the correct answer because under MARPOL Annex I regulations, a ship with an inoperative oily water separator is not permitted to discharge its bilge slops overboard. The ship must hold the slops onboard and dispose of them at a shore-side reception facility designed to properly handle and treat the oily waste. Options B, C, and D are not permitted as they would result in an illegal discharge of oily waste.
