A
not more than 90 feet per minute
B
not less than 120 feet per minute
C

D
a safe speed only specified
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) not more than 120 feet per minute. The regulations state that the governor brake on a lifeboat winch must be capable of controlling the speed of lowering a fully equipped lifeboat from a cargo ship at not more than 120 feet per minute. This ensures a safe and controlled lowering speed to protect the lifeboat and its occupants during launch. The other options are incorrect because A) 90 feet per minute is too slow, B) 120 feet per minute is the maximum allowed speed, and D) does not provide a specific speed requirement as stated in the regulations.
