A set of interior steps on a ship leading up to a deck from below is known as _______________.

A stairs

B 'tween-decks

C a companion way

D All of the above are acceptable

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) a companion way. A companion way refers to a set of interior steps on a ship that lead up to a deck from below. This is the specific term used in maritime regulations and terminology to describe this type of stairway or access on a vessel. The other answer choices are not as precise or accurate. "Stairs" is a general term that does not specify the maritime context, "tween-decks" refers to the space between decks rather than the stairway itself, and "All of the above" is incorrect since only one of the options is the proper term.
