D3, 4, 7 and 9 open; 1, 2, 5, 6 and 10 closed.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10 open; 2, 4, 7 and 9 closed. To discharge the salt water ballast into the No.6 port and starboard wing tanks, the valves that need to be opened are 1, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10. This allows the ballast water to flow into the designated tanks. The valves that need to be closed are 2, 4, 7 and 9 to prevent the ballast water from flowing into the wrong tanks or areas. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly identify the specific valves that need to be opened and closed to discharge the ballast water into the No.6 port and starboard wing tanks.
