A
Wire rope.
B
Chain
C
Webbing
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Chain. Chain used as lashing gear aboard Ro-Ro vessels should be painted or soaked in oil when not in use. This helps prevent the chain from rusting and deteriorating when exposed to the elements. Wire rope and webbing do not have the same susceptibility to rust, so they do not require this type of preventative maintenance when not in use. Therefore, only the chain lashing gear needs to be painted or oiled for protection.
