Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: Vessel type, size and age.
MARPOL requirements are stringent and evolve based on the vessel's specific type (e.g., oil tanker vs. general cargo), its size (deadweight/tonnage), and its age, as newer vessels must meet stricter construction and equipment standards.
