A 50 adult life jackets and 5 child life jackets
B 40 adult life jackets and 10 child life jackets
C 50 adult life jackets and 2 child life jackets
D 50 adult life jackets
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 50 adult life jackets and 5 child life jackets. According to the small passenger vessel regulations, a vessel certified to carry 50 persons must have enough life jackets to accommodate all passengers, with additional life jackets for children. The regulations require 1 adult life jacket for each adult passenger and 1 child life jacket for every 10 children on board. Since the vessel is certified for 50 persons, the correct number of life jackets is 50 adult life jackets and 5 child life jackets. The other options are incorrect because B) and C) do not provide the required number of child life jackets, while D) does not include the necessary child life jackets.
