70% to passPaints and solvents used aboard a vessel should be _______________.
Adrained into a common container after each use
Breturned to the paint locker after each use
Cstowed safely at the work site until work is completed
Dcovered with a fine mesh screen to protect from ignition sources
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) returned to the paint locker after each use. This is the correct answer because it aligns with safety regulations for stowing paints and solvents aboard vessels. Paints, thinners, and other flammable liquids should be returned to a designated, secure paint locker after use to prevent the buildup of vapors and reduce the risk of fire or explosion. Draining them into a common container (option A) or leaving them at the work site (option C) would not provide the proper level of safety and containment. Covering them with a screen (option D) does not adequately address the storage and stowage requirements.
