Answer: A. a) It's important to stay informed, otherwise, you might not be prepared for unexpected situations.

Explanation

Option (a) is the correct interpretation. "Staying on top of things" means to stay informed and aware of everything that's happening, so that you can be prepared for unexpected situations. The other options use figurative language to describe being on top of things, but they don't convey the same meaning as the original sentence.
