AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) the injured is unable to perform routine duties.
The reasoning is that according to Coast Guard regulations, the Master (captain) is required to submit a Report of Marine Accident, Injury or Death if a seaman is injured and unable to perform their routine duties, regardless of the severity of the injury. This reporting requirement is not dependent on the injury being due to misconduct (A), resulting in loss of life (C), or requiring only first aid (D). The key factor is that the injured seaman is unable to perform their normal work activities.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully capture the reporting requirement, which is based on the seaman's inability to perform their duties, not the specific circumstances of the injury.
