Question 1368 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) when there is no load on the cable. The off-load release system on a survival craft is designed to be activated when there is no load on the cable. This ensures that the survival craft can be safely and easily launched by releasing the cable when there is no tension or weight on it, preventing potential injury or damage to the craft or its occupants. The other options are incorrect because: A) starting the engine is not the trigger for the off-load release system, B) the doors being closed is not the condition for activating the release, and C) the system should be activated when there is no load, not when there is a load on the cable.
