D

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.
