Ago into place as the raft is inflated
Bbe put up after everyone is aboard
Cbe put up only in severe weather
Dbe used as a sail if the wind is blowing
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) The canopy of your life raft should go into place as the raft is inflated. This is the correct answer because the canopy of a life raft is designed to automatically deploy and cover the raft as it inflates. This protects the occupants from the elements and provides shelter from sun, wind, and rain. The canopy is an integral part of the life raft and is not meant to be put up after the fact or only in certain weather conditions. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the proper deployment and use of the life raft canopy, which is meant to be in place from the moment the raft is inflated.
