Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: Audible and visual alarms must initiate directly on the Navigation Bridge and Cargo Control Room (CCR).
SOLAS and FSS Code requirements stipulate that fire alarms must alert the bridge and the engine control room, as these locations are manned 24/7. This ensures immediate notification and response to any fire detection signal.
