What is placed on the underside of an inflatable liferaft to help prevent it from being skidded by the wind or overturned?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Water pockets.
Inflatable liferafts are designed with water pockets attached to the underside to help prevent the raft from being skidded by the wind or overturned. These water pockets fill with water and act as a sea anchor, providing drag and stability to the raft in rough seas. This helps keep the raft oriented properly and reduces the risk of it being blown around or capsized by the wind.
The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically address the purpose of stabilizing the underside of an inflatable liferaft. Strikes, a keel, and a sea anchor are not the features used for this purpose on an inflatable liferaft.
