Question 52 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) a SART can be manually activated and deactivated. A SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) is designed to be manually carried to the survival craft in an emergency situation. One of the key characteristics of a SART is that it can be manually activated and deactivated by the user, unlike options B, C, and D which describe automatic activation or deactivation behaviors. This manual control allows the user to conserve the SART's battery power and activate it only when needed. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the manual activation and deactivation capability of a SART unit, which is a critical function for the user to control the device as needed during a distress situation.
