AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) A work vest may never be counted as a lifejacket. The regulations state that work vests cannot be substituted for the required number of USCG-approved lifejackets on a vessel. Work vests are intended for use during work activities, while lifejackets are the primary lifesaving equipment that must be provided for all passengers and crew. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because work vests do not meet the regulatory requirements for lifejackets, regardless of their location or approval status.
