Question 34 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 4 days. The required amount of time that a SART's (Search and Rescue Transponder) battery must be able to operate the unit in the standby mode is 4 days, as per the regulations set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This requirement ensures that the SART, which is a critical safety device for maritime emergencies, can maintain its functionality and responsiveness for an extended period when activated. The other options are incorrect because 3 days (A) and 2 days (B) do not meet the minimum 4-day requirement, while 8 hours (C) is too short a duration for the SART to effectively operate in the standby mode during a search and rescue operation.
