What is a disadvantage to the use of high voltage systems onboard ship?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Necessary adherence to stringent safety procedures.
The use of high voltage systems onboard ships requires strict safety protocols and procedures to be followed. High voltages pose a significant risk of electric shock and other hazards, so extensive training, protective equipment, and safety measures are necessary to prevent accidents and ensure the safe operation of the electrical systems. The other answer choices, while potentially related to high voltage systems, do not directly address the key disadvantage of the increased safety requirements.
