70% to pass

For each person it is certified to carry, a lifeboat on an oceangoing passenger vessel must be provided with all of the following EXCEPT _______________.

A 3 liters of water
B 1 seasickness kit
C 1 unit of provisions
D 1 life preserver
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1 life preserver. This is because according to Coast Guard regulations, a lifeboat on an oceangoing passenger vessel must be provided with 3 liters of water, 1 seasickness kit, and 1 unit of provisions per person it is certified to carry. However, life preservers are not required to be stored in the lifeboat itself, as passengers and crew should already be wearing their life jackets when abandoning the vessel. The other answer choices (A, B, C) are all items that are required to be provided in the lifeboat, while life preservers are not required as a lifeboat provision.
