A inflatable buoyant apparatus
B inflatable liferafts
C life floats
D Any of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Any of the above. Small passenger vessels in coastwise service must carry one of the approved types of survival craft - inflatable buoyant apparatus, inflatable liferafts, or life floats. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, these vessels are required to have an adequate number of approved survival craft that can accommodate all persons on board in the event of an emergency. Any of the three options listed - inflatable buoyant apparatus, inflatable liferafts, or life floats - would meet the regulatory requirements for survival craft on these types of vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the full range of approved survival craft that these vessels must carry.
