Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Either oil or solid bulk cargoes in its cargo spaces.
A combination carrier (such as an OBO - Ore-Bulk-Oil carrier) is a vessel specifically designed to be flexible, allowing it to carry either liquid cargoes like oil or solid bulk cargoes like ore in the same cargo spaces, depending on operational needs.
