A seaman is entitled by law to a release from Foreign Articles when _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) the vessel is overloaded.
A seaman is entitled by law to a release from Foreign Articles when the vessel is overloaded. This is because an overloaded vessel poses a significant safety risk to the crew, and the seaman has the right to refuse to sail on such a vessel. The other answer choices are not valid reasons for a seaman to be released from Foreign Articles, as injuries and intoxication do not automatically entitle a seaman to a release, and deductions from wages are a separate issue not directly related to the vessel's condition.
