The correct answer is B) imprisoned for up to a year. According to the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, a person who willfully violates safety regulations may be fined up to $5,000 and imprisoned for up to a year. This penalty is outlined in Title 46, United States Code, Section 2302, which establishes criminal penalties for violations of Coast Guard regulations.
