A

B
dropped in the water
C

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) lowered over open water. When lowering a personnel basket to pick up personnel from a boat, the basket should be lowered over open water to avoid the risk of the basket striking the side of the vessel. This is a safety requirement to prevent injury to the personnel being lifted. The other options, such as tying the basket to the rig or the vessel, or dropping it in the water, are not recommended as they could lead to safety hazards or improper handling of the basket.
