A
set the water lights on immersion
B
release the dye-marker from the liferaft
C
break the seal on the carbon dioxide cylinder
D
free the liferaft from a sinking vessel
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) free the liferaft from a sinking vessel. The hydrostatic release mechanism is designed to automatically release the liferaft from a sinking vessel, allowing it to float to the surface. If this mechanism is not properly serviced and becomes inoperative, it will not be able to perform this critical function of freeing the liferaft from the sinking vessel. The other options, such as activating the water lights or releasing the dye-marker, are not directly dependent on the hydrostatic release mechanism.
