AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) given to the seaman.
When a vessel is operating on coastwise articles, the original certificate of the seaman's certificate of discharge is given to the seaman. This is in accordance with regulations governing the documentation and record-keeping requirements for seamen on vessels operating in the coastwise trade. The seaman is entitled to receive the original certificate as proof of their service and employment on the vessel.
