Floors aboard ship are _______________.

A longitudinal beams in the extreme bottom of a ship from which the ship's ribs start
B frames to which the tank top and bottom shell are fastened on a double bottomed ship
C transverse members of the ships frame which support the decks
D longitudinal angle bars fastened to a surface for strength
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) frames to which the tank top and bottom shell are fastened on a double bottomed ship. Floors aboard ship refer to the transverse structural members in the bottom of a double-bottomed ship, to which the tank top and bottom shell are fastened. They provide the foundation and structural support for the ship's bottom. The other options are incorrect because: A) describes the longitudinal beams, not the transverse floors; C) describes the deck beams, not the floors; and D) describes longitudinal strengthening members, not the transverse floors.
