Who is responsible for lowering the survival craft?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Helmsman.
The helmsman, who is responsible for steering the vessel, is typically the person designated to lower the survival craft in an emergency situation. This is because the helmsman is in the best position to safely maneuver the vessel and coordinate the launching of the survival craft. The other options, such as the roustabout, the last man aboard, or the first man aboard, do not have the same level of responsibility or control over the vessel's operations during an emergency.
