A
inflate the righting bag
B
right the raft using the righting strap
C
swim away from the raft
D
climb onto the bottom
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) right the raft using the righting strap. If the liferaft capsizes, the correct action is to right the raft using the righting strap. This strap is specifically designed to allow the crew to flip the raft back over to its upright position. Leaving the raft (option C) or climbing onto the bottom (option D) are not the proper actions, as the goal is to get the raft back upright. Inflating the righting bag (option A) may also be an appropriate action, but the righting strap is the more direct method to right the capsized raft.
