Hand held red flares expire 42 months from the date of manufacture. Floating orange smoke distress signals expire after how many months?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 42 months.
Floating orange smoke distress signals, like hand-held red flares, have an expiration date of 42 months from the date of manufacture. This is the standard expiration period for these types of pyrotechnic visual distress signals, as specified in the regulations governing their use and carriage requirements for recreational and commercial vessels in the United States.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 18 months (A) and 24 months (B) are not the standard expiration period, and 60 months (D) is longer than the actual 42-month expiration period.
