AThe important operation should be concluded by the relieving officer, except when otherwise ordered by the chief mate.
BThe important operation should be concluded by the relieving officer, except when otherwise ordered by the chief engineer.
CThe important operation should be concluded by the officer being relieved, except when otherwise ordered by the chief engineer.
DThe important operation should be concluded by the officer being relieved, except when otherwise ordered by the chief mate.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C. The reasoning is that during an important operation, such as transferring fuel, the officer being relieved should conclude the operation, except when otherwise ordered by the chief engineer. This ensures continuity and prevents any disruption to the critical operation. The other options are incorrect because they either have the wrong person (the relieving officer) concluding the operation, or they have the wrong superior officer (the chief mate) giving the order to do otherwise.
