The correct answer is D) All of the above. All of the methods listed can help reduce the possibility of producing an electrical spark during cargo transfer operations. Placing an insulating flange or non-conducting hose in the hose setup, using a cargo hose with a built-in bonding wire, and connecting a bonding wire between the shore side piping and the vessel are all recommended practices to prevent static electricity buildup and potential sparking, which could ignite flammable vapors. These methods are in accordance with Coast Guard regulations and industry best practices for safe cargo handling.
