A Chain lever or turnbuckle
B Buckle or ratchet tensioner
C Webbing
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Chain lever or turnbuckle. Chain lever or turnbuckle lashing materials are typically used to secure heavy vehicles aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. These types of lashings provide the necessary strength and durability to properly restrain large, heavy cargo like vehicles during transport. The other options, such as webbing or buckle/ratchet tensioners, may not have the load-bearing capacity required for this application. The choice of lashing material is governed by regulations and industry best practices for securing cargo on Ro-Ro vessels, which prioritize the use of robust, high-strength components to ensure the safety of the cargo and the vessel during transit.
