AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) readily accessible spaces. Life jackets must be stowed in readily accessible spaces on board a vessel, as per the US Coast Guard regulations. This ensures that life jackets can be quickly and easily retrieved by the crew and passengers in an emergency situation. Storing life jackets in the forepeaks, pump room, or locked watertight containers would make them less accessible and go against the safety requirements.
