When a survival craft drill is held, the person in charge must insure that _______________.

A all survival craft are lowered to the water, launched, and operated for thirty minutes
B each emergency position indicating radio beacon is tested for thirty minutes
C all davits used for launching liferafts are operated
D the helicopter pad landing lights are operating in a quick-flashing mode
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) all davits used for launching liferafts are operated. During a survival craft drill, the person in charge must ensure that all davits used for launching liferafts are operated. This is a key requirement specified in the regulations governing survival craft drills for U.S. Coast Guard-licensed vessels. Lowering and operating the davits verifies their proper functioning and readiness for use in an emergency. The other options, while potentially relevant to emergency preparedness, are not the primary focus of a survival craft drill as per the regulations.
