Which act would be considered barratry?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A criminal act committed by the ship Master in violation of his duty to the ship owner.
Barratry is a criminal act committed by the ship's Master that is in violation of their duty to the ship owner. This includes acts such as intentionally running the ship aground, scuttling the vessel, or other criminal misconduct that damages the ship or its cargo. The other answer choices do not meet the definition of barratry, as they describe criminal acts by the crew or longshoremen, rather than the Master specifically.
