Abarrels, measured in 55 gallon drums
Bcubic meters
Cweight in either kilogram or pounds
Dcubic yards convertible to long tons
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) cubic meters. The reason this is the correct answer is that according to maritime regulations, the amount of garbage disposed must be recorded in cubic meters. This is the standard unit of measurement for waste volume on ships, as it provides a standardized way to track and report the quantity of garbage generated and disposed of. The other answer choices, such as barrels, weight, or cubic yards, are not the required units for recording garbage disposal on ships.
