Aonly when the load is taken off the cable
Bonly when there is a load on the cable
Conly when activated by the controls at the lowering station
Dat any time
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) at any time. An 'on-load' release system on a survival craft means the cable can be released at any time, regardless of whether there is a load on the cable or not. This allows the survival craft to be released from the ship quickly in an emergency, without needing to first remove the load or activate controls at a lowering station. This is a critical safety feature to ensure the survival craft can be deployed rapidly when needed. The other options are incorrect because they impose unnecessary limitations on when the on-load release system can be activated, which would reduce the effectiveness of the system in an emergency situation.
