A liferaft with a capacity of 8 people used in ocean service is required by regulations to carry _______________.

A 8 liters of fresh water
B 12 units of provisions
C 12 liters of fresh water
D 24 units of provisions
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 12 liters of fresh water. Regulations for ocean service liferafts with a capacity of 8 people require the liferaft to carry 12 liters of fresh water. This is to ensure that there is enough drinking water available for the survivors in the event of an emergency at sea. The other answer choices are incorrect - 8 liters of fresh water (A) is not enough for an 8-person liferaft, and 12 or 24 units of provisions (B and D) do not address the fresh water requirements specified in the regulations.
