The required amount of water for each person in a lifeboat on an oceangoing vessel, on an international voyage, is _______________.

A 1 liter
B 2 liters
C 3 liters
D 4 liters
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 3 liters. According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the required amount of water for each person in a lifeboat on an oceangoing vessel on an international voyage is 3 liters per day. This regulation is in place to ensure that lifeboat occupants have access to sufficient drinking water in the event of an emergency situation at sea. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the SOLAS requirement of 3 liters per person per day.
