In discussing segregation, the IMDG Code defines what it means by the term "separated from". Which of the following is that definition?

With an intervening compartment, being both a vertical and horizontal separation. Provided an intervening deck is resistant to liquid and fire, a vertical separation of 6 metres is acceptable. For "on deck" stowage, this segregation means a distance of at least 12 metres irrespective of compartment divisions.
Effectively segregated so that the incompatible goods cannot interact dangerously in the event of an accident, but may be transported in the same compartment or hold or on deck, provided a horizontal separation, projected vertically, of 3 metres is obtained.
In different compartments or holds when stowed "under deck". Provided an intervening deck is resistent to fire and liquid, a vertical separation may be accepted as equivalent. For "on deck" stowage, this segregation means a distance of at least 6 metres.
Some centrifugal cargo oil pumps are designed with an automatic stripping system, which allows the cargo oil tank to fully discharge its contents. By what principle does such a stripping system operate?
On the basis that, if cargo vapour can be stopped from entering the cargo pump suction inlet, the flow will continue without cavitation.
By automatically reducing the rate at which oil cargo enters the cargo pump, such that any vapour lifted along with the liquid does not cause a loss of suction.
By the optimum size and positioning of the suction inlet that feeds the automatic stripping system, which ensures that the cargo oil tank is discharged to the maximum possible extent.
On the principle that if the suction is fitted low enough in the cargo oil tank and a specified minimum trim is maintained, suction will be available until the tank is completely discharged.
