C
Leave it outside the liferaft and turn it off.
D
Leave it outside the liferaft and leave it on.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Bring it inside the liferaft and leave it on. This is the correct answer because the emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) should be brought inside the liferaft to protect it from the storm conditions and keep it operational. Leaving the EPIRB outside the liferaft could damage it or cause it to become submerged, rendering it useless. Turning the EPIRB off would defeat its purpose of signaling your location to rescuers during an emergency situation. The other options are incorrect because they either do not properly protect the EPIRB or disable its critical emergency function.
