Jettison is defined as:

  1. A. Fraud by the ship's master or crew

  2. B. Throwing cargo overboard to save the ship

  3. C. Taking the insured property by force

  4. D. Winds, waves, collision or sinking

The correct answer is: B. Throwing cargo overboard to save the ship

Jettison refers to throwing cargo overboard in order to lighten the load and prevent a ship from sinking. This is typically done in emergency situations, such as when a ship is in danger of capsizing due to rough weather or damage. Option A is incorrect because fraud by the crew or master of the ship has nothing to do with jettisoning cargo. Option C is incorrect because taking insured property by force is a form of theft, not jettisoning. Option D is incorrect because it lists factors that could lead to jettisoning, but is not the actual definition of jettison itself.
