Question 1524 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 3 months. According to the regulations for the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, a drill must be conducted in the use of the line throwing appliance at least once every 3 months. This requirement is in place to ensure that crew members remain proficient in the proper deployment and operation of this critical safety equipment. The other answer choices are incorrect because conducting the drill less frequently (4 or 5 months) would not meet the regulatory requirement, while conducting it more frequently (2 months) would be unnecessary and impose an excessive burden on the crew.
