Question 4522 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 4. The maximum number of personnel allowed on a personnel transfer basket is 4. This is based on the regulations outlined in the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The transfer basket is designed to safely transport a limited number of personnel at a time, and the limit of 4 persons ensures the stability and safety of the transfer operation. The other answer choices are incorrect because 2 persons would be too few for many transfer scenarios, 3 persons may be acceptable in some cases but is not the maximum, and 5 persons would exceed the designed capacity and safety limits of the transfer basket.
