AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. Fresh water may not be obtained from fish. While seawater should never be consumed, lifeboat covers or canopies should be washed with rain before drinking water is collected, and fresh water may be collected from condensation inside the liferaft, it is not possible to obtain fresh water directly from fish. Fish do not contain drinkable fresh water, and attempting to extract water from them would not be a reliable or safe source of drinking water in a survival situation.
