Question 1133 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 9, which is the righting strap in the illustration D014SA. The righting strap is a safety device used on small vessels to help right the vessel if it capsizes. In the illustration, item 9 is clearly labeled as the "Righting Strap", confirming that this is the correct identification of the righting strap in the diagram. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the righting strap in the illustration. Items 8, 12, and 16 represent different components of the vessel, but are not the righting strap.
