AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 67% of the total number of persons permitted on board. This is correct because according to the small passenger vessel regulations, a wooden small passenger vessel operating on a coastwise route in cold water must carry sufficient inflatable buoyant apparatus for 67% of the total number of persons permitted on board, or meet alternate requirements regarding collision bulkhead standards and the provision of life floats. The other options are incorrect because A) requires carrying sufficient inflatable buoyant apparatus for all persons aboard, which exceeds the 67% requirement. Options C) 50% and D) 30% do not meet the 67% regulatory requirement.
