AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) throw the life raft over the side and pull the operating cord.
To launch a life raft by hand, you should throw the life raft over the side and then pull the operating cord. This triggers the inflation mechanism, causing the life raft to automatically inflate and deploy. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the proper procedure for manually launching a life raft. Cutting the casing bands or detaching the operating cord could damage the raft or prevent it from inflating properly.
