The number of rowing oars that must be carried in a motor-propelled open lifeboat on a cargo vessel is _______________.

A specified by the Coast Guard
B specified by the manufacturer
C determined by the Master
D None
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) specified by the manufacturer. The number of rowing oars that must be carried in a motor-propelled open lifeboat on a cargo vessel is specified by the manufacturer of the lifeboat. This is because the manufacturer designs and builds the lifeboat to meet Coast Guard regulations, which include requirements for the necessary safety equipment such as the number of oars. The Coast Guard does not directly specify the number of oars, nor is it determined by the Master of the vessel. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring the lifeboat is properly equipped per the applicable regulations.
