70% to pass

The inside light in an inflatable liferaft is turned on _______________.

A automatically as the liferaft inflates
B with a switch near the boarding handle
C at night because the light has a photosensitive switch
D by screwing the bulb in after the raft inflates
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) automatically as the liferaft inflates. Inflatable liferafts are designed to have the inside light turn on automatically when the raft inflates. This is a safety feature to provide immediate illumination within the raft, which is crucial for locating and boarding the raft, especially in low-light or nighttime conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) the light does not have a manual switch, C) the light is not photosensitive and turns on regardless of ambient light, and D) the light is not screwed in manually after inflation.
