AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 6. The hydrostatic release unit is correctly identified as item number 6 in the illustration D015SA. The hydrostatic release is a critical safety device that automatically releases a liferaft or other emergency equipment from its stowage in the event of a sinking, allowing the equipment to float to the surface. The other answer choices are incorrect because item 3 is the liferaft container, item 7 is the davit, and item 10 is the deck. None of these represent the hydrostatic release unit, which is the specific component identified as item 6 in this illustration.
