AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 300 psig. According to the Coast Guard regulations, the maximum pressure allowed for the air tanks or pressure vessels on a vessel is 300 psig (pounds per square inch gauge).

The other options are incorrect because A) does not specify a pressure limit, B) refers to a pressure in kPa (kilopascals) which is not the standard unit used in the Coast Guard regulations, and D) is simply a reiteration of the correct answer.
