AStarboard side, frame 132
BStarboard side, frame 123
CMidships, frame 123
DPort side, frame 132
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Starboard side, frame 132. The fire axe is typically located near the fire station or other emergency equipment, which is often situated along the starboard side of the vessel. Based on the illustration SF-0045, the fire axe would be located on the starboard side, frame 132, as this is a common placement to provide quick access in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because the fire axe would not be located at midships (option C) or on the port side (option D) of the vessel, as these are not the standard locations for emergency equipment on a ship.
