Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: All of the above.
Effective emergency management relies on a structured approach as mandated by the ISM Code. Contingency plans must define roles to avoid confusion, outline immediate mitigation steps to prevent escalation, and provide clear communication protocols for internal coordination and external reporting (e.g., to the shore, MRCC).
