Question 1836 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) floor. In the illustration D033DG, the structural member indicated by the letter K is the floor. The floor is the horizontal structural element that forms the bottom of the vessel's interior and provides a surface for the cargo or passengers. This is a key structural component that must be properly constructed and maintained to ensure the vessel's stability and safety. The other options are incorrect because: B) longitudinal frame and D) stringer are separate structural members that run longitudinally, while C) girder is a transverse structural element, none of which are indicated by the letter K in the provided illustration.
