AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) deflating the floor panels may help to cool personnel. In hot, tropical weather while adrift in an inflatable life raft, deflating the floor panels can help to cool the personnel inside. This allows better air circulation and helps prevent heat buildup, which can be dangerous in such conditions. The other options are incorrect - deflating the canopy (A) could expose personnel to more direct sun and heat, opening the pressure valve (B) is not necessary for cooling, and never opening the entrance curtains (D) would limit air flow and ventilation.
