The releasing lever of a lifeboat shall be red in color with a placard stating which of the following?

A "Danger"
B "Danger, Lever Releases Boat"
C "Danger, Boat May Drop"
D "Danger, Do Not Touch"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) "Danger". According to the regulations governing lifeboat equipment, the releasing lever of a lifeboat must be red in color with a placard stating "Danger". This is to clearly indicate the potential hazard associated with the release mechanism and to caution operators against accidental or unauthorized use. The other options, while related to the purpose of the lever, do not accurately reflect the required placard wording specified in the regulations.
