B

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Life jacket. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, all motor vessels carrying passengers must have a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket for each person on board. Life jackets provide the most reliable and effective personal flotation device for passenger safety in the event of an emergency. The other options, such as ring life buoys, buoyant vests, and buoyant cushions, are not adequate substitutes as the primary lifesaving device for each passenger on a motor vessel.
