AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. The requirements for the mechanical disengaging apparatus in a lifeboat are: 1) It must be painted red to make it easily identifiable. 2) The area surrounding the release lever shall be a contrasting light color to further highlight the release mechanism. 3) It must have an operation instruction placard to provide clear instructions on how to operate the release. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully capture all the requirements for the mechanical disengaging apparatus. These requirements are specified in the relevant regulations for lifeboat design and equipment.
