AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a davit span with at least 2 lifelines. According to the regulations for international voyages, each open lifeboat carried on a vessel must be equipped with a davit span that has at least two lifelines. This is required to ensure the safe launching and recovery of the lifeboat in an emergency situation.
