C

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) that is not protected from entry of water by means of a complete weathertight deck. According to the regulations for small passenger vessels, an "open boat" is defined as a vessel that is not protected from the entry of water by means of a complete weathertight deck. This means the boat does not have a full, sealed deck that would prevent water from entering the vessel. The other answer choices do not accurately capture the regulatory definition of an "open boat" in this context.
