A directing the use of lifesaving equipment
B in response to a fire
C for deck department crew members to understand the terminology used in the engine room
D in response to a man overboard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) for deck department crew members to understand the terminology used in the engine room. The terminology "able to understand any order spoken by the officers" refers to the ability of crew members to comprehend instructions from officers in emergency situations, such as the use of lifesaving equipment, responding to a fire, or in a man overboard scenario. However, this requirement does not extend to crew members understanding the specific terminology used in different departments, such as the engine room, as long as they can follow orders from the officers. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) are all situations where crew members would need to understand the orders given by officers, but C is an exception where that specific level of understanding is not required.
