70% to pass

When lowering a boat with gravity davits, it will be pulled into the embarkation deck by the _______________.

A tricing pendants
B boat hooks
C frapping lines
D falls
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) tricing pendants. When lowering a boat with gravity davits, the tricing pendants are used to pull the boat into the embarkation deck as it is being lowered. Tricing pendants are ropes or lines that are attached to the boat and used to control its movement and positioning during the lowering process. The other answer choices are incorrect because: boat hooks are used to fend off the boat from the ship's side, frapping lines are used to secure the boat to the davits, and falls are the main hoisting/lowering ropes attached to the davits.
