- A. Cargo holds and refrigerated compartments only
- B. Weather decks and exposed superstructure spaces

- D. Cofferdams and void spaces adjacent to cargo tanks
Why C is correct
46 CFR §111.106-3(j) states that cargo pumping and piping systems must be arranged independently from all other systems, and that cargo transfer pumps and piping must not be located in or pass through any accommodation, service, or machinery spaces. This segregation requirement is a key fire and explosion prevention measure.
