ASecure all lighting to the main deck.
BProvide a portable fan to blow away fumes.
CDisplay a black triangle during daylight hours.
DProhibit smoking in the area.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Prohibit smoking in the area. When taking on diesel fuel, one of the key precautions is to prohibit smoking in the area. This is because diesel fuel is a flammable liquid, and the presence of an open flame or source of ignition can easily lead to a fire or explosion. The regulations require that all smoking be strictly prohibited during the fueling process to mitigate this risk. The other answer choices are either not directly relevant (A and C) or would not be as effective in preventing a fire hazard (B) compared to the requirement to prohibit smoking.
