Question 829 Deck General

The correct answer is B) upon completion of loading, and and after periods of heavy weather unless the hold is equipped with automatic smoke/fire monitoring capability. This is the correct answer because the regulations require cargo holds on vessels transporting hazardous materials to be inspected upon completion of loading, and after periods of heavy weather, unless the hold is equipped with automatic smoke/fire monitoring systems. This ensures the cargo is properly stowed and secured, and checks for any issues that may have arisen during heavy weather. The other options are incorrect because they either do not meet the minimum inspection requirements (option D), or they only apply if the hold has automatic monitoring systems installed (option C), which is not the case in the question.
