Answer:

Option 'B' ( dropped the storm jib and lashed a heavy mooring rope) is correct.

Explanation:

They were required to slow down the speed of Wavewalker. In order to protect the ship from rough weather, the captain slow down the speed, the crew dropped the storm jib, and to further slow down the speed, the crew lashed a heavy mooring rope in a loop across the stern.

Therefore, option 'B' ( dropped the storm jib and lashed a heavy mooring rope) is correct.
