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.
