Which of the following statements best describes how IMO dictates ARPA data should be displayed on a bridge?

ARPA information on the bridge is intended to support shared situational awareness and redundancy. It should be readable by more than one observer under typical bridge lighting so that multiple crew members can monitor the targets, cross-check plots, and act in concert without depending on a single person or a single display. Limiting visibility to one observer or to only the primary display risks missed targets or delayed actions, especially during busy or stressful maneuvers. Making ARPA data visible to more than one observer ensures the information is accessible to the watch team and remains usable under normal lighting conditions.
