AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) E liquid. Bunker "C" is a heavy fuel oil that is classified as an E liquid under the US Coast Guard regulations. E liquids are defined as oils that are not flammable at temperatures below 60°C (140°F), such as heavy fuel oils like Bunker "C". This classification is important for determining the appropriate storage, handling, and emergency response procedures for these types of oils on board vessels. The other options are incorrect because A) A liquids are flammable liquids, B) B liquids are combustible liquids, and D) D liquids are not a recognized classification for marine fuels under the Coast Guard regulations.
