What is illegal for boat operators to dump into the bilge without proper disposal means?

  1. Water

  2. Oil

  3. Fish remains

  4. Unused bait

The correct answer is: Oil

Boat operators are not allowed to illegally dump any type of oil substance into the bilge without proper disposal means such as a designated oil waste container. This is because oil and other petroleum substances can harm marine life and ecosystems when disposed of in the water. Options A, C, and D may also be harmful if disposed of improperly, but they are not specifically prohibited by law like oil is. Therefore, option B is the only correct answer for this question.
