Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: Report the situation and sound the emergency fire alarm.
In any emergency, the primary rule is to notify others immediately by sounding the alarm to activate the ship's emergency response team. Attempting to fight a fire alone without assistance is dangerous and violates standard emergency procedures.
