Correct Answer: Option D — On top of the hatch immediately aft of the midships house
Stowing vehicles on the hatch immediately aft of the midships house provides optimal protection from direct green water impacts while maintaining longitudinal trim and structural stress limits, consistent with sound vessel cargo securing and deck stowage practices.
