Answer: c. The Owner of the ship - Jack Palace

Step-by-step explanation:

The investigation was unable to determine the cause of the fire. While this does not clear any party, it does not lay the blame on any party either.

In such a case the financial responsibility will fall on the company operating the transport company which in this case is Jack Palace who is the owner of the ship.
