Which can be prevented only by segregating two lots of cargo into separate holds?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Contamination of a food cargo by an odorous cargo.
Explanation:
Segregating different types of cargo into separate holds is required to prevent contamination between incompatible cargoes. This is especially important for food cargoes, which can be contaminated by strong odors or vapors from other types of cargo. Separating the holds ensures that the food cargo remains unaffected by any odorous or tainted cargoes. The other options, while important considerations, do not specifically require segregation to prevent the issue.
