Question 1762 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) will float if any two adjacent compartments are flooded. A two-compartment vessel is designed so that it will remain afloat even if any two adjacent compartments are flooded. This is a stability requirement for certain commercial vessels to ensure they can withstand minor damage or flooding without sinking. Option C accurately captures this definition of a two-compartment vessel. The other options are incorrect. Option A describes a vessel that would sink if any two compartments are flooded, which is the opposite of a two-compartment vessel. Option B incorrectly focuses on the number of compartments rather than the flooding criteria. Option D is too broad, as a two-compartment vessel may have more than two compartments total.
