Question 974 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) permanently posted for the guidance of ship's officers. This is the correct answer because according to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a vessel's fire control plan must be permanently posted in a prominent location for the guidance of the ship's officers. The fire control plan provides critical information on the location of firefighting equipment, escape routes, and other important details that officers need to respond effectively in the event of a fire. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's requirements for the fire control plan. Posting the plan every 150 feet, providing it in booklet form to each crewmember, or translating it into multiple languages are not specified as mandatory in the regulations.
