Areduce your drift rate
Bkeep the survival craft from turning over
Caid in recovering the survival craft
Dincrease your visibility
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) reduce your drift rate. Using a sea anchor with a survival craft will help reduce the drift rate of the craft, keeping it more stationary in the water. The sea anchor creates drag, which counteracts the force of wind and waves pushing the craft, allowing it to remain more stable and drift less. This can be crucial in survival situations to conserve energy and remain in a more predictable location for rescue. The other answer choices, while potentially beneficial, do not directly address the primary purpose of using a sea anchor, which is to reduce the drift rate of the survival craft.
