Each commercial fishing vessel must have at least one immersion suit, exposure suit, or life preserver for each _______________.

A person working on deck
B person aboard
C crew member
D None of the above are correct.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) person aboard. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, each commercial fishing vessel must have at least one immersion suit, exposure suit, or life preserver for each person aboard the vessel, not just the crew members or those working on deck. This requirement ensures that all individuals on the vessel, including passengers, have access to proper life-saving equipment in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because they do not account for the full population that must be provided with the necessary safety gear.
