A open the doors and start the sprinkler system
B pass out food and water to personnel
C open the doors and prepare the craft for boarding
D activate the emergency release handle
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) open the doors and prepare the craft for boarding. During an abandonment or drill, the first person to arrive at the survival craft should open the doors and prepare the craft for boarding. This allows the crew to quickly and safely board the craft, which is the top priority in an emergency situation. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the immediate need to ready the survival craft for boarding.
