AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) properly and safely empty the well with a portable pump then manually muck it out. This is the correct answer because the proper and safe way to clear a clogged bilge well is to first pump out the contents, then manually remove any debris or blockage. Introducing fuel oil or changing the ship's trim are not recommended solutions, as they could potentially create other issues or safety hazards. Pumping out the bilge well and manually clearing the blockage is the most practical and appropriate solution in this situation.
