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. By properly storing and securing flammable materials, maintaining clean and organized work areas, and promptly addressing any spills or leaks, the risk of fire is significantly reduced. The other answer choices, while important for overall vessel safety, do not directly address the primary purpose of good housekeeping in preventing fires.
