A starboard side ladderwell, frame 119
B portside ladderwell, frame 93
C portside ladderwell, frame 106
D Either A or B
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) portside ladderwell, frame 106. The primary means of escape from the engine room between frames 92 and 105 is the portside ladderwell at frame 106. This is determined by the layout of the engine room shown in the illustration D037SA, which indicates the location of the ladderwell on the portside near frame 106. The other options are incorrect because: A) The starboard side ladderwell at frame 119 is not the primary means of escape from the specified area. B) The portside ladderwell at frame 93 is too far from the area of concern between frames 92 and 105. D) While either A or B could potentially be used as an alternate means of escape, the primary means is the portside ladderwell at frame 106.
