AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to the regulations for Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) in the United States, each OSV must carry the following safety equipment: 1) At least 12 rocket parachute flares for distress signaling. 2) At least one life buoy on each side of the vessel, each fitted with a buoyant life line. 3) One category I 406 MHz satellite Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) for emergency location and rescue. The other options are incorrect because they do not include all the required safety equipment for an OSV as specified in the regulations.
