Correct Answer: Option A — Set a reflash watch in the galley.
Setting a reflash watch is a critical post-fire procedure. Even after a fire appears extinguished, smoldering materials or hot surfaces can cause reignition. A dedicated watch ensures that any signs of smoke, heat, or flame are detected immediately, allowing for rapid intervention before the fire can spread again.
