Question 408 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) secure the rafts together to keep them from drifting apart. The reasoning behind this is that keeping the liferafts secured together helps maintain the group and prevents them from drifting apart. This increases the chances of the group being detected and rescued, as it is easier for search and rescue teams to locate a consolidated group of survivors rather than scattered individual rafts. Separating the rafts (option D) would actually decrease the chances of detection, while transferring all supplies or injured to one raft (options A and C) does not address the priority of keeping the group together.
