Question

question 39 of 60
an oil spill must be immediately reported to which of the following authorities?
a county sheriff
b national guard
c us coast guard
d nearest local marina

Explanation:

The US Coast Guard is responsible for responding to oil spills. They have the authority and resources to handle maritime environmental emergencies. The county sheriff (A) deals with local law enforcement, the National Guard (B) is for military - related emergencies (though they can assist in some disasters, not specifically oil - spill reporting as a first - responder), and the nearest local marina (D) is a place for boats to dock, not an authority for reporting oil spills.

Answer:

C. US Coast Guard
