Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: A duplicate set of plans permanently stored outside the deck house in a prominent weatherproof enclosure.
SOLAS regulations require fire control plans to be readily accessible to crew and emergency responders. A duplicate set stored in a prominent, weatherproof enclosure outside the navigation bridge ensures vital information is available even if the bridge is inaccessible.
