adjusting the hose supports
B
laying out an excess length of hose on deck
C
tying off the topping lifts and runners to winch heads
D
install hose preventers
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) adjusting the hose supports. Adjusting the hose supports is the best way to prevent pinching of the cargo hose between the vessel and the dock. Proper hose supports, such as saddles or rollers, ensure the hose is positioned correctly and can move freely as the vessel shifts with the tide or wind. This prevents the hose from becoming trapped and potentially damaged. The other options, while potentially useful in some situations, do not directly address the issue of hose pinching in the way that properly adjusting the supports does.
