- AMinor discharge, moderate discharge, and catastrophic discharge
- BAverage most probable discharge, maximum most probable discharge, and worst case discharge✓ correct
- COperational discharge, accidental discharge, and worst case discharge
- DMaximum most probable discharge, worst case discharge, and catastrophic discharge
Why B is correct
33 CFR §155.5035(i)(1)(v) requires the GSA to identify OSROs available to respond to the average most probable discharge, maximum most probable discharge, and worst case discharge. These are the three defined planning scenarios under the nontank vessel response plan framework.
