A Starboard side, frame 123
B Port side, frame 132
C Starboard side, frame 132
D Midships, frame 123
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Starboard side, frame 132. The fire control plan illustration D036SA shows the location of the fire axe on the starboard side, frame 132. This is the nearest fire axe to the crew lounge, where the fire was just extinguished, based on the information provided. The other answer choices are incorrect because the fire axe is not located on the port side (B), nor is it located at frame 123 on either the starboard (A) or midships (D) side. The fire control plan clearly designates the fire axe at the starboard side, frame 132, as the closest one to the scene of the fire.
