Which personal lifesaving device(s) is(are) approved for use on an uninspected towboat 150 feet in length?

A Buoyant vest or cushion
B Special purpose safety device
C Life preserver
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Life preserver. According to US Coast Guard regulations, on uninspected vessels 150 feet or less in length, such as uninspected towboats, the approved personal lifesaving device for use is a life preserver. Life preservers are required to be carried for each person on board, as they provide more buoyancy and stability compared to other options like buoyant vests or cushions. The other answer choices, while potentially acceptable on some vessels, do not meet the specific requirements for an uninspected towboat of this size.
