Correct Answer: Option C — Half of the accommodation lighting circuits on the 01 deck, port side would lose power.

Marine lighting distribution panels split phase loads across alternating buses. Losing incoming phase A on the primary feeder drops power to exactly half of the designated accommodation lighting circuits on the affected port side deck.
