70% to pass

The officer responsible for the sanitary condition of the engineering department is the _______________.

A Chief Engineer
B First Assistant
C Master
D Chief Mate
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Chief Engineer. The Chief Engineer is responsible for the overall operation and maintenance of the engineering department, which includes ensuring the sanitary condition of the spaces and equipment under their supervision. This is in accordance with Coast Guard regulations and standard maritime practices, which hold the Chief Engineer accountable for the cleanliness and proper functioning of the engine room and related engineering spaces. The other options are incorrect because the First Assistant, Master, and Chief Mate have different responsibilities that do not directly involve the sanitary condition of the engineering department.
