An undocumented vessel with 10 people aboard and operating 25 miles off the seacoast must carry a survival craft of the _______________.

A buoyant apparatus type
B inflatable buoyant apparatus type
C life float type
D All of the above types are acceptable.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) inflatable buoyant apparatus type. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, an undocumented vessel operating more than 3 nautical miles offshore with 10 people aboard must carry an inflatable buoyant apparatus as the required survival craft. This type of survival craft is suitable for the vessel's offshore operation and passenger capacity. The other options, such as buoyant apparatus or life floats, would not meet the regulatory requirements for this scenario.
