Life preservers must be marked with the _______________.

A vessel's name
B vessel's home port
C maximum weight allowed
D stowage space assigned
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) the vessel's name. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, all life preservers or personal flotation devices (PFDs) must be marked with the vessel's name. This requirement ensures that the life preserver can be easily identified as belonging to a specific vessel, which is important for search and rescue operations. The other options (B, C, and D) are not the required markings for life preservers under the Coast Guard regulations.
