AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above.
When an individual falls overboard, the appropriate actions are to hail "Man Overboard", throw a life ring overboard to mark the person's location, and pass the word to the bridge to initiate the rescue procedures. These three actions are required by U.S. Coast Guard regulations to effectively respond to a person overboard incident and improve the chances of a successful recovery.
