A MAA
B MAD
C MAF

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) MAA. The MAA code is used to request urgent medical advice when a crew member has become violently ill. This is the appropriate code to use in the given scenario, where the AB (Able Bodied Seaman) has become violently ill, and you need to request urgent medical assistance. The other options are incorrect because: B) MAD is used to report a distress situation, which is not the case here. C) MAF is used to report a fire on board, which is also not the relevant in this scenario. D) MAB is not a recognized code for requesting urgent medical advice.
