Which statement is TRUE concerning distress signals in a lifeboat?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Hand held flares and orange smoke signals are required.
This is correct because the regulations for lifeboats require that they be equipped with both hand-held flares and orange smoke signals to serve as distress signals. The other options are incorrect:
A) A Very pistol with twelve flares is not required, just hand-held flares.
B) Two hand-held smoke signals are required, not just "shall be provided".
D) Hand-held rocket-propelled parachute flares, if provided, are not the only distress signals required - they must be accompanied by the hand-held flares and smoke signals.
