Aregularly emptying all drip pans
Bplugging all scuppers and drains
Cplacing floating booms around the ship
Dthoroughly draining all bunkering hoses
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) plugging all scuppers and drains. Plugging all scuppers and drains is the best way to prevent small oil spills on deck from contaminating surrounding waters. Scuppers and drains provide a direct path for any spilled oil to flow overboard, so blocking them ensures the oil is contained on the deck and can be properly cleaned up. The other options, while potentially helpful, are not as effective at directly preventing the oil from entering the water.
