AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) They should be replaced. Severely damaged life jackets should be replaced, as per the regulations and guidelines set by the U.S. Coast Guard. Life jackets that are severely damaged, worn, or have compromised structural integrity cannot be relied upon to provide the necessary buoyancy and protection in an emergency situation. Attempting to repair or continue using a severely damaged life jacket poses a serious safety risk and is not recommended. The other options are incorrect as they do not align with the proper handling of severely damaged life jackets.
