According to the IMO Code, what are the minimum number of securing points that should be on each side of a "road vehicle", whose gross vehicle mass is between 3.5 tons and 20 tons, when carried on Ro-Ro vessels?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Two. According to the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS Code), the minimum number of securing points that should be on each side of a "road vehicle" whose gross vehicle mass is between 3.5 tons and 20 tons, when carried on Ro-Ro vessels, is two. This requirement is specified in the CSS Code to ensure the safe and secure stowage of such vehicles during maritime transportation. The other options are incorrect because the CSS Code does not specify one or three securing points for vehicles in this weight range, and there is no situation where no securing points would be required.
