Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — an above-deck datum such as the top of the ullage pipe

Tanker ullages are consistently measured from a standardized, above-deck reference point, such as the top of the ullage pipe or deck plate datum, ensuring repeatable distance measurements down to the liquid surface regardless of list or trim.
