AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) a grease fire in the ventilation system. A fire in the galley, where cooking takes place, poses the additional threat of igniting grease buildup in the ventilation system. This can cause the fire to spread rapidly through the ductwork, posing a serious risk to the entire vessel. The other answer choices are not directly related to the specific threat posed by a galley fire.
