70% to pass

Which statement about immersion suits is TRUE?

A The immersion suit seals in body heat and provides protection against hypoglycemia for weeks.
B The suit is flameproof and provides protection to the wearer while swimming through burning oil.
C Prior to abandonment, the suit allows body movement such as walking, climbing a ladder and picking up small objects.
D The wearer of the suit is severely restricted and requires 1.5 times more time to climb a ladder than without the suit.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Prior to abandonment, the immersion suit allows body movement such as walking, climbing a ladder and picking up small objects. This is correct because immersion suits are designed to provide thermal protection and allow the wearer to move and perform tasks prior to entering the water. The suit should not severely restrict movement or make it significantly more difficult to climb a ladder. Answer D is incorrect because it describes the suit as severely restricting the wearer. The other answer options are incorrect. Immersion suits are not flameproof and do not provide protection against swimming through burning oil (answer B), and they are not designed to provide prolonged protection against hypoglycemia for weeks (answer A).
