B
verification that the unit lanyard is neatly stowed and properly secured to the vessel
C
verification that the unit has been maintained by a shore based maintenance provider
D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) verification that the unit has been maintained by a shore based maintenance provider. The annual SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) required test on an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) involves verifying that the unit has been properly maintained by a shore-based service provider. This is a critical requirement to ensure the EPIRB will function correctly in an emergency. The other options, while potentially relevant to EPIRB maintenance, are not specifically part of the annual SOLAS test.
