Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: $4.5\%m/m$.
MARPOL Annex VI sets strict limits on the sulphur content of bunker fuel to reduce SOx emissions. The standard global limit, as established in the regulation, is 4.5% m/m, though regional Emission Control Areas (ECAs) now have significantly stricter requirements.
