Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: The Flag State.
The Ship Security Plan (SSP), a critical document under the ISPS Code, must be approved by the Flag State Administration or a Recognized Security Organization (RSO) acting on its behalf. This approval ensures that the plan meets the mandatory requirements and effectively addresses the identified security vulnerabilities of the ship.
