Question 1839 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) web frame. The letter "M" in the illustration D033DG indicates a web frame, which is a transverse structural member that extends across the full width of the hull. Web frames provide critical support and reinforcement to the vessel's structure. This is consistent with the typical arrangement and labeling of components in a ship's construction diagram. The other options are incorrect because: A) a stringer is a longitudinal structural member, C) a cant frame is an angled frame used at the bow or stern, and D) an intercostal is a structural member that is installed between the main transverse frames.
