Under normal conditions a liferaft is released from its cradle by _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) pushing the plunger on the center of the hydrostatic release.
Under normal conditions, a liferaft is released from its cradle by the hydrostatic release, which is activated by pushing the plunger in the center. The hydrostatic release is designed to automatically deploy the liferaft if the vessel sinks, ensuring the raft is available for use. The other options (lifting the raft, cutting the strap, or unscrewing the turnbuckle) are not the standard method for normal liferaft deployment and would likely not be compliant with regulations.
