AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) primary means of escape. The solid arrow in the Crew Mess represents the primary means of escape, as required by U.S. Coast Guard regulations for fire control plans. The primary means of escape must be clearly indicated on the fire control plan to ensure crew members can quickly identify the safest route out of the space in the event of a fire or other emergency. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the purpose of the solid arrow on the fire control plan.
