A drop greater than 10 feet
B fire and toxic environment
C hurricane
D nuclear environment
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) fire and toxic environment. Survival craft, such as lifeboats and life rafts, are designed to provide protection from fire and toxic environments when the sprinkler system and air system are on and all hatches are shut. This protects the occupants from the hazards of a fire or the presence of toxic gases or fumes in the surrounding environment. The other options are not the primary functions of survival craft, which are focused on providing a safe and sheltered environment for the crew in emergency situations.
