70% to pass

You are transporting dangerous cargo on your vessel. The regulations require you to _______________.

A periodically inspect it and make an entry in a log
B keep a warning sign posted nearby
C keep a fire hose run out and ready for use if needed
D allow no chipping or painting in the vicinity of the cargo
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) periodically inspect it and make an entry in a log. Regulations for transporting dangerous cargo on a vessel require the Captain to periodically inspect the cargo and make a log entry documenting the inspection. This ensures the cargo is being properly handled and any issues can be identified and addressed. The other options, while potentially good safety practices, are not specifically required by regulations for dangerous cargo transport. Option B is a general safety measure, C is for fire preparedness, and D is about work restrictions near the cargo, but none are the primary regulatory requirement like option A.
