Which statement is True for lifejackets on a small passenger vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) readily accessible.
The U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that lifejackets on small passenger vessels must be readily accessible to passengers and crew at all times. This means that the lifejackets must be stored in a location where they can be quickly retrieved in an emergency, not locked away in compartments. While lifejackets should be inspected periodically, the weekly inspections and yearly testing referenced in the other options are not required by regulations for small passenger vessels.
