Which radio call-in plan is the most prudent?

A Two responsible persons should be designated so that one can relieve the other as necessary.
B There must be a designated responsible person who knows they are expecting your call at a certain time.
C There must be a designated responsible person available at all times to receive your call.
D The designated responsible person must be instructed to call the Coast Guard search and rescue authorities immediately if your call does not come in on schedule.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) There must be a designated responsible person who knows they are expecting your call at a certain time. This is the most prudent radio call-in plan because it ensures that there is a responsible person aware of the expected call-in time, who can take appropriate action if the call does not come in as scheduled. This allows for a timely response in the event of an emergency, without requiring the responsible person to be available at all times. The other options are less desirable - option A relies on two people which introduces more complexity, option C requires constant availability which may not be practical, and option D, while important, should be a secondary step after the responsible person has been notified.
