Lookouts should remain at their station until ______.

• A. Released
• B. Reported
• C. Relieved
• D. Recalled

Answer: (C)

Continuous watch requires you to stay at your post until someone else takes over. Being relieved means the incoming lookout has completed the handover and assumed responsibility, so there’s no gap in vigilance and safety is maintained.

Other options don’t fit because they don’t signify a formal handover or routine duty transition: released implies you’re free to go without the handover, reported doesn’t indicate passing the duty, and recalled is about urgently summoning someone back, not the normal handover process.

Relieved is the correct completion.
