AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) inspecting the fires and burners. Before relieving the watch, it is crucial to check the status of the fire room, which includes verifying the boiler steam drum level and inspecting the fires and burners. This is a standard procedure for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the boiler system. Checking the port and starboard settling tank levels (option A) or the stack temperature (option D) are not directly related to the immediate fire room status. Preparing to blow tubes (option B) is a separate maintenance task that is not part of the pre-watch relief check.
