Which lifesaving equipment must be tested monthly?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) EPIRB.
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) must be tested monthly as per Coast Guard regulations. This is to ensure the EPIRB is functioning properly and will activate in an emergency. The other options, while important for safety, do not have the same monthly testing requirement. Dated batteries should be replaced as needed, hydrostatic releases should be serviced annually, and inflatable PFDs should be inspected regularly, but not necessarily tested monthly like an EPIRB.
