Question 1890 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. This is correct because: 1) Distress flares and smoke signals are required aboard small passenger vessels, regardless of the duration of the run. 2) They must be Coast Guard-approved and stored in a portable, watertight container. 3) They must also be marked with an expiration date not more than 42 months from the date of manufacture. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the requirements for distress flares and smoke signals on small passenger vessels as per the relevant regulations.
