What should be readily available on deck while seamen are working over the side on a stage?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Ring buoy.
When seamen are working over the side on a stage, a ring buoy should be readily available on deck. This is a requirement specified in the regulations for the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The ring buoy is a critical safety device that can be quickly thrown to a person who has fallen overboard, providing them with flotation and a way to be recovered from the water. The other options, while important safety equipment, are not the primary requirement for this specific scenario involving work over the side. A fire extinguisher, Stokes basket, and first aid kit are all valuable to have on deck, but a ring buoy is the most essential item in this case to facilitate a quick rescue if needed.
