AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Primary means of escape. The arrow between frames 135 and 140 on the fire control plan represents the primary means of escape from the lower engine room. This is in accordance with Coast Guard regulations, which require that all vessels have clearly marked primary means of escape from each compartment or space. The primary means of escape is the main route for personnel to evacuate in the event of an emergency, such as a fire. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent what the arrow signifies on this fire control plan.
