AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) must also be inspected and/or tested in accordance with Coast Guard Regulations at each Inspection for Certification.
This is the correct answer because even though the fire detection systems, fire extinguishing systems, and associated equipment are not required by the Coast Guard, if they are installed on the cargo vessel, they must still be inspected and tested as per Coast Guard regulations during each Inspection for Certification.
