AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) wait for calmer weather before transferring personnel.
In heavy seas, it is safest for the survival craft to remain stable and wait for calmer conditions before attempting to transfer personnel to the rescue vessel. Transferring people in heavy seas can be extremely dangerous and increase the risk of injuries or people falling overboard. The regulations emphasize the importance of safety and caution in such situations, rather than rushing the transfer. The other options, such as tying up to the rescue vessel or transferring all personnel immediately, are not recommended as they could compromise the stability and safety of the survival craft.
