AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) To keep visitors away from the barge. During cargo transfer operations, a warning sign is displayed at the gangway or access point of the barge to restrict access and keep unauthorized personnel away from the immediate work area. This is a safety precaution to prevent injuries and accidents that could occur if visitors or unauthorized individuals were to enter the active cargo transfer zone. The other answer choices, while potentially relevant in other situations, do not specifically address the purpose of the warning sign during cargo operations on a barge.
