The correct answer is C) 5 years and must be renewed.
The credentials issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for apprentice mate (steersman) of Towing Vessels are valid for 5 years before they need to be renewed. This is in accordance with the regulations outlined in 46 CFR 11.463, which specify the validity period and renewal requirements for this credential.
