A Two
B Four
C Three
D One
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Two. According to the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS Code), the minimum number of securing points that should be on each side of a "road vehicle", whose gross vehicle mass is between 3.5 Tons and 20 Tons, when carried on Ro-Ro vessels, is two. This requirement is specified in the CSS Code to ensure the proper and safe securement of these vehicles during maritime transport. The other options are incorrect because the CSS Code does not mandate a higher number of securing points for this weight range of road vehicles.
