How many liters of water per person must be carried in lifeboats on a tankship sailing a coastwise route?

A Three
B One
C Two
D None
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Three liters of water per person must be carried in lifeboats on a tankship sailing a coastwise route. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Subchapter W, which covers lifesaving equipment on vessels. Specifically, Section 199.175(b)(1) states that each lifeboat must carry "at least 3 liters of drinking water for each person the lifeboat is equipped to carry." The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirement. One liter (B) or two liters (C) per person would be insufficient, while carrying no water (D) would be a violation of the regulations.
