Ddumping fuel oil
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) pumping out flooded compartments. The reasoning is that progressive flooding in the engine room should be minimized by securing watertight boundaries and pumping out any flooded compartments. Pumping out the flooded compartments helps remove the water and prevent further flooding, which is the most effective way to minimize the impact of progressive flooding. The other options, such as transferring reserve feed water, evacuating the engine room, or dumping fuel oil, are not directly relevant to minimizing progressive flooding.
