Correct Answer: Option B — The pump motor is protected by low voltage release and protected from motor overload by visual warning

Steering gear motor controllers must automatically restart upon power restoration per safety regulations, utilizing low voltage release. Motor overloads are indicated via visual warning alarms rather than tripping the steering gear offline, satisfying 46 CFR requirements for vital services.
