AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) participation by selected crew members. The fire protection regulations for towing vessels require that the emergency drills be conducted with the full participation of all crew members, not just selected crew members. This ensures that all personnel on board are familiar with their roles and responsibilities in the event of an actual emergency. The other options (B, C, and D) are all required components of the emergency drills, as they test the vessel's fire protection systems and equipment to ensure they are in proper working order.
