Ddirect suction to the double bottom tanks
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) remote means of stopping the pump. This is because the regulations for fuel oil service systems require that there be a remote means of stopping the fuel oil service pumps in case of an emergency. This ensures that the fuel supply to the engine can be quickly shut off from a safe location in the event of a fire or other incident. The other answer choices do not directly address this regulatory requirement for a remote stop on the fuel oil service pumps.
