AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The IMO is the United Nations agency responsible for developing and maintaining international regulations and standards for the shipping industry, including the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). MARPOL is the primary international convention that addresses the prevention of marine pollution from ships, and it was developed and adopted under the auspices of the IMO.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the international body responsible for drafting MARPOL. The Association of Seafaring Nations, the International Association of Shipping, and the Maritime Advisory Council are not the organizations responsible for developing MARPOL.
