Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Do not go to a pirate-affected area.
Avoiding pirate-affected areas is the most effective preventative strategy, often facilitated by AIS monitoring and compliance with Best Management Practices (BMP). Other options, like active armed fire or extreme speed, are either dangerous or impractical.
