Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: The Flag State.
The security level for a ship is primarily set by the Contracting Government (Flag State) or, when in port, by the Port State. The ship's Company Security Officer (CSO) and Ship Security Officer (SSO) must ensure the vessel operates at the declared security level, adjusting measures as required by the Ship Security Plan (SSP).
