When checking the level of a volatile liquid in a tank on the weather deck of a tank vessel, you should position yourself __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — at a right angle to the wind direction

Positioning yourself at a right angle to the wind ensures that vapors escaping from the tank opening are carried away from your breathing zone. This crosswind orientation prevents the accumulation of toxic or flammable gases around the operator, minimizing exposure risks while performing essential tank level measurements.
