A5 meters
BB
C31 feet)
D15 meters
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 5 meters. The length of the painter (the line used to secure the life raft) on a rigid life raft must be sufficient to reach the highest expected waterline plus an additional 5 meters. This requirement is specified in the regulations governing life raft equipment and design, as it ensures the life raft can be easily and quickly launched and retrieved in an emergency. The other options are incorrect because B) has no specified value, C) is an incorrect unit of measurement, and D) 15 meters is an excessive length that is not required by the regulations.
