AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) all ballast lines, tanks, and pumps are independent of those used for oil. A segregated ballast system is a system where the ballast tanks and associated piping are completely separate from the cargo oil tanks and piping. This ensures that the ballast water is not contaminated with oil, which is a requirement for compliance with pollution prevention regulations. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the key defining feature of a segregated ballast system.
