To launch a life raft by hand, you should _______________.

A cut the casing bands, throw the raft over the side and pull the operating cord

B cut the casing bands, throw the raft over the side and it will inflate by itself

C detach the operating cord, throw the life raft over the side and it will then inflate

D throw the life raft over the side and pull the operating cord

AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) throw the life raft over the side and pull the operating cord. To launch a life raft by hand, you should throw the life raft over the side and then pull the operating cord. This triggers the inflation mechanism, causing the life raft to automatically inflate and deploy. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the proper procedure for manually launching a life raft. Cutting the casing bands or detaching the operating cord could damage the raft or prevent it from inflating properly.
