C details of the crew members assigned to each passenger requiring assistance in an emergency

D details of all passengers who have declared having prescription medications

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) details of passengers who have declared a need for special assistance in an emergency. SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) requires passenger ships to record and communicate to the Master certain information about persons aboard, including those who have declared a need for special assistance in an emergency. This information is critical for the Master to effectively plan and coordinate emergency response procedures. The other options, while potentially relevant, are not specifically required by SOLAS to be communicated to the Master prior to departure.
