Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: To avoid being caught by the pirates and hence prevent them from taking control of the ship.
The primary purpose of a Citadel or Safe Muster Point during a pirate attack is to provide a secure, impenetrable refuge for the crew. This prevents their capture, denies pirates access to the ship's vital controls, frustrates their objective, and buys time for rescue.
