D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) stowing all the cargo for a port in the same area. "Block stowage" refers to the practice of stowing all the cargo destined for a specific port or location together in the same area of the vessel's hold. This allows for more efficient unloading and loading of cargo at each port, as the cargo does not need to be moved around as much within the hold. The other options, while related to cargo stowage, do not accurately describe the meaning of "block stowage."
