A woven into a net and secured in the center of the float
B secured around the sides and ends in bights of not longer than three feet
C the lanyard for securing provisions
D used for securing unconscious persons to the sides
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) secured around the sides and ends in bights of not longer than three feet. This is the correct answer because the small passenger vessel regulations specify that the life line on a life float or buoyant apparatus must be secured around the sides and ends in bights (loops) of not longer than three feet. This helps to ensure that the life line is properly secured and accessible to persons in the water. The other options are incorrect because: A) the life line is not woven into a net, C) the life line is not used as a lanyard for securing provisions, and D) the life line is not used for securing unconscious persons to the sides.
