The Master of a vessel shall make sure the EPIRB is tested (small passenger vessel regulations) _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) monthly.
According to the small passenger vessel regulations, the Master of a vessel must ensure that the Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is tested monthly. This is a regulatory requirement to ensure the EPIRB is in proper working condition in case it needs to be used in an emergency situation.
The other answer choices are incorrect because testing the EPIRB daily, weekly, or every two weeks would be excessive and not in line with the regulatory requirement.
