Bstowed with their ends open for venting
Csteam cleaned and flushed with hot water

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) drained into drip pans or tanks. When bunkering operations are complete, the fuel transfer hoses should be drained of any remaining fuel to prevent spills or leaks. Draining the hoses into drip pans or tanks ensures that any residual fuel is properly contained and disposed of, in accordance with environmental regulations. The other options are incorrect because: B) stowing the hoses with open ends may allow vapors to vent, which is a safety hazard; C) steam cleaning and flushing the hoses is unnecessary after routine bunkering; and D) blowing down the hoses with inert gas is not a standard practice for completing bunkering operations.
