Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Move all personnel as far away from the object as possible.
In the event of a suspicious object, the primary goal is the safety of the crew. Evacuation and cordoning off the area are the mandatory initial responses, followed by professional intervention; the object should never be touched or moved.
