Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: No.
Escape route doors, vital for the safe evacuation of personnel in an emergency, must never be locked in a manner that prevents their immediate opening from the inside. Security measures must not compromise safety and emergency egress requirements under SOLAS.
