CBoat hooks
DCompass
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Releasing gear lever. The lifeboat releasing gear lever must be painted bright red as per the regulations of the US Coast Guard. This is done to make the lever highly visible and easily identifiable in an emergency situation, allowing the crew to quickly and safely release the lifeboat from the ship. The other options, such as hatches, boat hooks, and the compass, do not have this specific requirement to be painted red.
