Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Inform Master immediately on radio.
Discovering a suspicious object requires immediate action and adherence to the Ship Security Plan (SSP). The priority is to inform the Master immediately, who will then assess the situation and initiate appropriate responses, which may include isolating the area and calling for expert assistance. Unauthorized handling is dangerous.
