Boverall competency
Cknowledge of how to perform the task and nothing more

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) ability to perform the practical demonstration only at the time the skill was assessed. When a ship's officer signs off on a trainee's successful completion of a practical demonstration, they are attesting only to the trainee's ability to perform that specific task at the time of the assessment. The sign-off does not imply the trainee's overall competency (B), their knowledge of how to perform the task (C), or their ability to perform the task in the future (D). The sign-off is a record of the trainee's performance during that particular assessment, not a guarantee of their future capabilities.
