A
To replace a damaged life preserver
B
For use during fire drills
C
For use during boat drills
D
At no time
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) At no time. According to US Coast Guard regulations, a work vest may not be substituted for a required life preserver. Life preservers are essential safety equipment that must be worn at all times when operating a vessel, while work vests are not considered an adequate replacement. The regulations are clear that life preservers are mandatory and cannot be swapped out for work vests, even during drills or to replace damaged equipment. The other options (A, B, C) are incorrect as they suggest work vests can be used in place of life preservers, which is not permitted under Coast Guard rules.
