Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: 24 hours.
SOLAS requirements state that if more than 25% of the crew has not participated in drills on that specific ship within the previous month, an abandon ship and fire drill must be held within 24 hours of the ship leaving port to ensure everyone is familiar with their duties.
