AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) They must be stowed separately from approved life jackets. Work vests, also known as work life jackets, are not considered approved life jackets for passenger vessels. They must be stowed separately from the approved life jackets required to be on board. Work vests cannot be substituted for the required life jackets, and they are not approved for use during drills or in emergency situations. The regulations require that approved life jackets be readily accessible, while work vests must be stored separately.
