AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) They should be replaced. Severely damaged life jackets should not be used, as they may not provide the necessary buoyancy and protection in an emergency situation. According to Coast Guard regulations, any life jacket that is significantly damaged, worn, or deteriorated should be replaced, as it may not perform as intended when needed.
