The symbols for fire control plans are approved by which organization?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) International Maritime Organization (IMO). The symbols for fire control plans are approved and standardized by the IMO, the United Nations agency responsible for maritime safety and security. The IMO has established guidelines and symbols for fire control plans in its International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which is the primary international treaty governing maritime safety. The IMO, not the U.S. Coast Guard, NFPA, or IACS, is the organization that sets the standards for fire control plan symbols used on ships worldwide.
