AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) eliminating potential fuel sources. Good housekeeping on a vessel is essential for fire prevention, as it helps eliminate potential fuel sources that could ignite and spread a fire.

The other answer choices, while important for safety, do not directly address the primary purpose of good housekeeping in preventing fires.
