B "Dangerous Cargo Being Transferred"
C "Warning, No Smoking, No Open Lights, No Visitors"
D "Danger, Do Not Board"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) "Warning, No Smoking, No Open Lights, No Visitors". This sign is required by Coast Guard regulations to be posted on the gangway of a tank barge during cargo transfer operations. The sign warns of the potential hazards, including flammable vapors, and restricts activities that could ignite the cargo. The other answer choices, while reasonable, do not fully capture the specific regulatory requirements for this type of warning sign.
