The signal given to commence lowering the lifeboats is _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) specified on the muster list (station bill). The signal to commence lowering the lifeboats is specified on the muster list (also known as the station bill) for the vessel. This is the standard procedure outlined in maritime regulations, as the muster list outlines the specific emergency procedures and signals for a given ship. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the standard protocol, as the ship's whistle is not the designated signal for lowering lifeboats.
