Question 1894 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 60 feet long. According to the small passenger vessel regulations, when a lifeline is required to be attached to a ring life buoy, the lifeline must be at least 60 feet long. This ensures that the lifeline is long enough to allow the person in the water to reach and hold onto the ring life buoy, providing them with a means of flotation and allowing them to be retrieved from the water. The other answer choices are incorrect because 120 feet (A) is unnecessarily long, 90 feet (B) does not meet the 60-foot minimum requirement, and 30 feet (D) is too short to effectively reach and secure the person in the water.
