Question 1639 Deck General

70% to pass

The normal equipment of every rescue boat shall include _______________.

A one can opener
B compass
C one 50 meter line
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) compass. According to the regulations governing the required equipment for rescue boats, every rescue boat must be equipped with a compass. This is a critical piece of navigational equipment that allows the boat operator to maintain their course and direction during a rescue operation, particularly when visibility may be limited or the boat is operating in unfamiliar waters. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the standard equipment requirements for rescue boats. A can opener and a 50-meter line are not considered essential rescue boat equipment, whereas a compass is a mandatory item.
