  2. BThe draft, maneuvering characteristics, peculiarities of the vessel, and any abnormal circumstances that may affect safe navigation✓ correct

Why B is correct

33 CFR §164.11(k) specifically requires the master to inform an employed pilot of the draft, maneuvering characteristics, and peculiarities of the vessel, as well as any abnormal circumstances that may affect safe navigation. The regulation does not require disclosure of insurance, cargo manifests, stability letters, or crew licensing information.
