B a rescue net
C a rescue seat
D a rescue litter
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) a rescue sling. Rescue slings are the most commonly used method for evacuating personnel from survival craft by SAR (Search and Rescue) helicopters. Rescue slings allow for the safe and efficient hoisting of individuals from the water or small craft into the helicopter. They are designed to securely support the person being lifted and minimize the risk of injury during the extraction process. In contrast, rescue nets, seats, and litters are less commonly used for this specific scenario involving survival craft.
