According to the SOLAS regulations, lifeboat falls must be renewed at intervals of how many years?

A 2.5
B 3
C 4
D 5
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 5 years. According to the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, lifeboat falls must be renewed at intervals not exceeding 5 years. This requirement is specified in SOLAS Chapter III, Regulation 20, which outlines the maintenance and inspection of lifeboats, rescue boats, and associated launching and recovery appliances. The other answer choices are incorrect because 2.5 years, 3 years, and 4 years do not align with the SOLAS regulations on the renewal interval for lifeboat falls, which is 5 years.
