What must be carried out in order to launch and inflate an inflatable liferaft?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Push on the hydrostatic release, pull on the sea painter.
To launch and inflate an inflatable liferaft, the hydrostatic release must be pushed to allow the liferaft to float free from its storage container. Then, the sea painter (the line attached to the liferaft) must be pulled to inflate the liferaft. This sequence of actions is required to properly deploy the liferaft as per the applicable regulations.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the proper steps to launch and inflate the liferaft. For example, pulling on the hydrostatic release would not allow the liferaft to float free, and pushing on the sea painter would not inflate the liferaft.
