AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) checking the expiration date of the battery. As part of the required monthly EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) inspection, verifying the expiration date of the battery is crucial. The battery is a critical component of the EPIRB, and it must be replaced before the expiration date to ensure the device will function properly in an emergency. The other options, while important for EPIRB maintenance, are not part of the required monthly inspection.
