referring to the shipping articles
B
examining the plate on the outside of the raft container
C
examining the Certificate of Inspection
D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) examining the plate on the outside of the raft container. The capacity of a liferaft is clearly marked on the identification plate on the outside of the raft container. This information is provided by the manufacturer and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. The shipping articles, Certificate of Inspection, and Muster List do not contain the specific capacity details for each individual liferaft on board. The capacity information can only be determined by directly inspecting the raft container.
