Question 1422 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) readily accessible locations. Life jackets must be stowed in readily accessible locations on a vessel, as required by Coast Guard regulations. This ensures that crew and passengers can quickly retrieve the life jackets in an emergency, without having to search for them or break into locked containers. The other options are incorrect - life jackets should not be stowed in survival craft, locked watertight containers, or mess rooms, as these locations would not allow for rapid access during an emergency situation.
