AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) for every person on board, plus 10% children's life jackets. This is the requirement under the small passenger vessel regulations. Vessels carrying passengers for hire must have an approved life jacket for every person on board, plus an additional 10% of the total capacity in children's life jackets to accommodate younger passengers. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet this regulatory requirement.
