B

C

D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) should be closed. During the fueling process, all doors, hatches, and ports should be closed to prevent the entry of any sparks or flames, which could potentially ignite the fuel vapors. This is a standard safety precaution required by regulations governing the fueling of vessels. The other options are incorrect because opening doors, hatches, and ports, either to windward or leeward, would increase the risk of ignition and pose a serious safety hazard.
