70% to pass

In launching a covered lifeboat, what would safely lower the lifeboat from inside the lifeboat cabin?

A Tricing line
B Frapping line
C Winch remote control wire
D Rottmer release
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Winch remote control wire. The winch remote control wire is used to safely lower the lifeboat from inside the lifeboat cabin. This allows the crew to control the lowering of the lifeboat remotely, ensuring a safe and controlled descent. The other options are incorrect because: A) Tricing line is used to keep the lifeboat close to the ship's side during launching, not for lowering. B) Frapping line is used to prevent the lifeboat from swinging excessively during launch, not for lowering. D) Rottmer release is a mechanism that allows the lifeboat to be released from the falls, but does not control the lowering process.
